Introduction
Cryptography serves as the cornerstone of cybersecurity and privacy. Classical cryptography primarily addresses the security and privacy of data while it is in transit. In contrast, contemporary cryptography has broadened its application to encompass safeguarding security and privacy in various aspects of digital communication, computation, automation, interaction, transaction, and data preservation.
In this course, learners will acquire a solid grounding in the essentials of symmetric key ciphers, hash functions, and public key ciphers. They will gain a comprehensive understanding of encryption and authentication mechanisms commonly employed in practical settings. Moreover, the course delves into the critical examination of these cryptographic systems, identifying vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors. Consequently, learners will learn how to effectively employ cryptographic tools within sight and proficiency.
This course is part of:
