General information

The International Chair in Blockchain for Cybersecurity, 'CyberChain', has launched the course "DLT Methodologies and Paradigms". It is a free and online training, available on the e4you platform for anyone interested.

The training, like the chair, is coordinated by the National Institute of Cybersecurity of Spain (INCIBE), the University of Salamanca and the BISITE Research Group. It is divided into 10 sections or modules, which deal with everything from an introduction to blockchain and DLT to tools for the development of a blockchain, including key concepts, secure development of smart contracts and attack detection.

The content is available in audiovisual format, so that it can be followed at the pace you need. In addition, it is complemented with material in the form of presentations and key notes. Registration is available free of charge at this link and students who take the training will receive a certificate of attendance that accredits their learning.

Methodology: 

The aim to provide a complete learning experience, where students can link theory, practice and critical analysis. In this way, prepare for the current challenges in the blockchain field, as well as recognize them and respond effectively to them.
