COSIC Course on Cryptography and Cybersecurity

Our society becomes more and more connected. This fundamentally changes our way of interacting as individuals and organisations. However, before our digital society can become truly ubiquitous, an important challenge lies ahead: there is a lack of trust and confidence, fueled by incidents such as viruses, phishing attacks and hacks that often result in sensitive data being leaked. During the past decade, rapid progress has been made in the field of cryptography and cybersecurity. Sometimes, this rapid progress resulted in key decisions being based on outdated information, unsubstantiated rumors or the latest hypes. It is very important in this area to understand the basic concepts and principles and to keep up to date with the latest technology developments presented by experts.
