Single-Course Danish 5 ECTS

Secure implementation of systems

Overall Course Objectives

When the company must secure data in transit and storage, it is important to choose a safe and sufficiently fast cryptographic algorithm. In order to make a sensible choice, it is necessary to know the most commonly used algorithms. It is also important to create a secure network and databases.
It is also necessary to work with strategic planning in cyber security.
The course provides an overview of secure network architecture and data storage as well as the most commonly used security algorithms. The course introduces to symmetric and asymmetric algorithms and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography). In addition, the course reviews HASH algorithms and the use of digital signatures. The course covers the most commonly used security protocols (Diffie-Hellman key distribution, Kereberos, X.509, PgP SSL/TLS). The course also contains implementation of backup systems and use of honeypots.
The course uses Cybersecurity Framework from NIST. This framework is used to identify security risks and create protection strategies as well as strategies to detect cyber security events in the system.
