KISA Opens Registration for Advanced Cryptographic Module Validation Training Starting Today

Online and Offline Education Combined
Recruiting Trainees Until 10/27 (Fri)

The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), together with the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Intelligence Service, announced that it will conduct the "2023 Cryptographic Module Validation Specialized Training Advanced Course" for five days from the 6th to the 10th of next month. KISA has been operating related training courses since 2020 and has produced over 1,500 trainees in the past three years.

In the first half of the year, KISA conducted a basic course to help understand fundamental knowledge of cryptographic technology and modules. For this second half training, a practical, customized course for cryptographic module implementation will be offered. The curriculum covers ▲ efficient computation methods for cryptographic implementation ▲ precautions when implementing cryptographic algorithms subject to validation ▲ advanced interpretation of cryptographic module validation tests and criteria.

Anyone interested in cryptographic technology and module development, including information security and cryptographic product developers, university and graduate students, can apply. The application period is from the 11th to the 27th. Detailed information can be found in the announcements on the Cryptography Utilization Activation website.

Park Hee-woon, Head of the Security Technology Division at KISA, stated, “We hope that this practical training course will help resolve difficulties encountered in developing cryptographic modules that meet validation standards,” and added, “KISA will continue to strive to expand support in various ways, including providing cryptographic module validation services and offering specialized training courses.”
