Title: Applied Cryptography
Presenter: Casey W. O'Brien, Director, Institute for Cyber Security, Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) and Co-Director, CyberWatch Center
Topics include:
A look at Classical Cryptography
Fundamentals of Modern Cryptographic algorithms: Symmetric vs. Asymmetric and Hashing algorithms
Common attacks against encrypted data
Plenty of hands-on exercises (e.g., setting up VPNs, Verifying the Integrity of Downloaded Files, Creating Public/Private Key Pairs, Working with Encrypted Mail and PGP, etc.)
Who should attend: This course will significantly benefit those teaching Cisco Networking Academy courses, CompTIA Security+, Information Systems Security, Network Security curricula, as well as VPN technologies.
Prerequisites: A willingness to learn and get your hands dirty.
Presenter: Casey W. O'Brien is the Director of the Institute for Cyber Security at the Community College of Baltimore County and Co-Director of the CyberWATCH Center. Casey's major teaching and research interests include: cyber exercise design and delivery, scalable and cost-effective information security laboratories, and information security curriculum design. Casey coordinates the CyberWatch Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition. The CCBC team won the 3rd Mid-Atlantic CCDC in 2008, place 2nd in 2010, and was the first community college in the country to qualify for the National CCDC. Casey has worked as a database administrator, senior network engineer, Web application programmer, and UNIX/Windows system administrator for both public- and private-sector organizations before transitioning into a full-time faculty position.
