Description

What is this course about?

Do you wonder how SSL works on websites? And what is the significance of digital certificates in secure communication between two entities e.g. a client and a web server? Then you are in the right place.

In this course, we'll talk about PKI which means Public Key Infrastructure. This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to deploy and manage a 2-tier public key infrastructure (PKI) on windows servers to support applications that require certificate based security. Students get hands-on experience implementing the solution to secure websites, applications and devices.

Note: "This course is purely related to Microsoft PKI on windows server a.k.a. Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS), Please go through the curriculum thoroughly before purchasing the course"

What kind of materials are used?

I’ve designed this course using Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC). Training will be done through videos where you’ll find lectures and hands-on.
