On the Second Conference Day (7 November 2008), you are invited to participate to the expert eSecurity Training Workshop organised under the scientific guidance of the Athens Information Technology – AIT.

Take a look at the Programme of PRACSE 2008

Register to PRACSE 2008

The aim of this eSecurity Training Workshop is to provide attendees with an understanding of some of the issues associated with network and information security. Attendees will be able to understand security vulnerabilities and the techniques and tools for designing secure networks. They will learn about different aspects of cryptography and they will be able to apply cryptographic techniques and up-to-date security protocols to maintain privacy in electronic transactions. In particular, attendees will see how networks are vulnerable to real-life attacks and get familiar with security protocols that are widely used in the “real-world”.

Who should attend:
       - Security officers, IT professionals and technical staff in IT or
         diverse organisations seeking to acquire practical knowledge on
         technical issues related to information systems’ and network 
         security.
       - Academics, researchers and students seeking to further
         their understanding on specific topics of electronic Security and
         contemporary applications and solutions.

A tentative list of topics to be presented in the workshop includes:
       - Cryptography and the Internet.
       - Real World Security Protocols
       - Wireless Protocols along with some security implications
       - Insecurity of WEP
       - Semantic attacks – a new wave of attacks
       - Options and issues in Federated Identity management

This workshop serves as a bridge to PRACSE, an annual event organized by Athens Information Technology focusing on PRactical AspeCts of Security. The aim of PRACSE is to provide a forum for continued activity in the area, to allow the interaction between security researchers and professionals and to give attendees the opportunity to network with experts in the field. PRACSE is a yearly event blending together tutorials, keynote presentations and ongoing work, focusing on issues related to important properties of systems and business security, however, with an emphasis on practical aspects of security.
