University of Hradec Králové is one of the smaller public higher education institutions in the Czech Republic. At present, there are about 7,000 students studying here. Even though at any of their faculties it is not possible to study a study program closely focused on cryptology, we pay attention to the historical and modern cryptology at the Faculty of Science in several subjects. Basic concepts, principles and methods of modern computer cryptology form an important part of the subject Computer and Data Protection. Principles of encrypting, decrypting and deciphering of basic substitution and transposition ciphers and the history of cryptology have become part of the subjects of Computer Science and Structured Programming in various degrees and with different approaches.
