Intermediate Cryptography

This intensive 3-day course provides cybersecurity professionals with the theoretical depth and applied techniques required to master cryptography beyond the basics. Through guided labs, protocol analysis, and practical exercises, participants will explore the design, weaknesses, and exploitation of modern cryptographic systems—while preparing for the challenges posed by quantum computing.

In the final modules, the course introduces quantum cryptography concepts—including quantum key distribution (QKD), post-quantum algorithms, and how quantum computing threatens current encryption standards such as RSA and ECC. 

This course is designed for red teamers, cryptanalysts, security engineers, and advanced defenders looking to expand their cryptographic skill set and prepare for future cryptographic threats. Bridging theory with real-world application, this training is essential for those working in high-security environments where cryptographic trust is critical.
