During the course, participants will learn about the basic principles of computer communication security. We will explain how authentication, confidentiality and integrity are achieved using various cryptographic techniques (e.g. MD5, SHA, AES and RSA). Next, participants will learn how to communicate securely on the web, send emails and connect to WiFi networks. Furthermore, we will demonstrate the security vulnerabilities in these scenarios using freely available hacking tools.
