What it is

In a context of globalization and information exchange marked by the use of ICT (Information and Communications Technologies), which implies the essential development of e-services (e-government, e-commerce, e-banking, e-learning....) via Internet and Telecommunications networks, it is essential to guarantee the security of information. Many companies and governments are involved. Cameroon for example has already identified ICT as a development tool and this is part of the “Document de Strategie de Reduction de la Pauvreté” and is implemented in the national level by ANTIC (Agence Nationale des Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication). Also, to guarantee many security aspects of information and infrastructures, Cameroon must call for experts and foreign agencies because of lack of highly skilled local experts. Recognizing that these security services which primarily include Privacy of communications, authentication, integrity and non-repudiation are provided by the Cryptology and Cybersecurity, so it is time for Cameroon to develop outstanding trainings in this area, which will reduce the technological dependence of Cameroon while promoting the scientific development.
