Between 15 to 25 February, INTERPOL has resumed the series of technical webinars on cryptography delivered under the GLACY+ project to Criminal Justice Authorities, this time targeting French speaking professionals from more than 30 countries.
Around 100 participants per session actively engaged in discussions and exercises on relevant topics like Hash and crypto essentials, Symmetric cryptography, Asymmetric cryptography, Trust in Internet and digital certificates. A session dedicated to cryptocurrencies is also to be organized in March.
This cycle of webinars follows the series of global appointments dedicated to strengthening technical capacities of criminal justice authorities, and in particular Law Enforcement Agencies, kick-started on the occasion of the three webinars piloted by INTERPOL in September 2020 as part of the E-First course.
The webinars were designed so as to respond to real professional needs noticed in the last years, since cryptography is a subject less covered during professional trainings, yet criminal justice authorities are facing increasing challenges when conducting successful investigations and prosecutions of cybercrime cases.
The first edition of the cycle was held in English in December 2020 and a Spanish one will follow too in the next period.
