Course Overview

For defence security architecture teams. Covers cryptographic inventory techniques, CBOM generation, static and network-based discovery tools, and risk-based migration prioritisation for CNSA 2.0 compliance across legacy and modern defence systems.

Curriculum

Course content is structured into sessions below. Each session is configurable to your organisation's environment, threat model, and objectives.

# Session Topics
1 Cryptographic Discovery in Defence Environments Why legacy crypto is invisible and how to find it
  • Scope of cryptographic debt in defence IT: firmware, protocols, key stores, embedded systems
  • CNSA 2.0 compliance drivers and NSA timeline requirements for symmetric and asymmetric migration
  • Why standard software composition analysis tools miss cryptographic usage in SCADA, Link 16, and satellite uplinks
2 Discovery Methodologies and Tooling Passive, active, and hybrid scanning techniques
  • Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM): structure, generation, and maintenance for defence procurement
  • Static analysis tools: IBM Quantum Safe Explorer, Keyfactor EJBCA scanner, and open-source CBOM generators
  • Network traffic analysis: identifying TLS cipher suites, IPsec configurations, and non-standard crypto in classified networks
  • Binary analysis for embedded cryptography in firmware and real-time operating systems (VxWorks, INTEGRITY)
Break
3 Prioritisation and Risk-Based Migration Planning From inventory to actionable migration roadmap
  • Risk scoring framework: data sensitivity x algorithm vulnerability x replacement complexity
  • HNDL exposure assessment: classifying data by shelf life versus quantum timeline (Mosca inequality)
  • Sequencing migration by system criticality: weapons systems, C2, logistics, and administrative tiers
4 Discussion and Next Steps Applying discovery findings to your organisation
  • Building a CBOM programme within existing defence procurement frameworks (DEF STAN 00-091, MIL-STD-882E)
  • Integrating cryptographic discovery into continuous monitoring and DevSecOps pipelines
