Teaching Cryptology At All Levels Using CrypTool
It is of increasing importance that we incorporate security and cryptology in both the undergraduate and graduate curriculums. This paper introduces cryptology in the framework of general cybersecurity and advocates that it is an appropriate mechanism for introducing security issues into the classroom at all level of the curriculum. A practical free software package called CrypTool which can be a major asset in any attempt to teach cryptology to a range of student audiences is presented. Applications and classroom experiences using CrypTool are discussed along with some student feedback.
The Colloquium™ recognizes that the protection of information and infrastructures that are used to create, store, process, and communicate information is vital to business continuity and security. The goal of The Colloquium™ is to work together to define current and emerging requirements for information assurance education and to influence and encourage the development and expansion of information assurance curricula, especially at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
