Analyze the CIA triad plus non repudiation, Kerckhoffs' law, and the principles of confusion and diffusion, and explain entropy as a measure of data randomness in encryption.
Explore the fundamentals of symmetric key cryptography, comparing block ciphers and stream ciphers, their modes of operation, padding considerations, and security risks like bit flipping attacks.
Explore how hard problems like factoring and the discrete logarithm drive usable yet secure public key cryptography, and assess Shor's impact and post-quantum encryption algorithms.
Explore two common asymmetric encryption algorithms: RSA and Diffie-Hellman, with RSA relying on the factoring problem and Diffie-Hellman on the discrete logarithm problem, illustrating public key cryptography and key exchange.
Trace the history of hash algorithms and learn how collision resistance and one-way functions define their security, including MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and the SHA family.
Explore how hash functions underpin secure credential storage for passwords, from plain text to salted hashes and key derivation, highlighting rainbow tables, collision resistance, and common security failures.
Explain the need for homomorphic encryption, how it enables computations on ciphertext, and distinguish fully versus partially homomorphic systems for processing data in use on untrusted platforms.
Data is the new oil of the 21st century, and guarding this oil has become a headache for many individuals & organizations. Today, people are always looking for various ways to protect their data. One such way is encryption that is a form of cryptography through which you can change information or decode it so that only a particular person can read it.
Everyone is using it- the government is using it to secure classified information, businesses are using it to protect corporate secrets, individuals are using it to guard personal data against any digital theft or piracy.
As of now, it has become one of the most effective forms of data security & still it’s underutilized. As per numerous studies, there has been a steady increase in the deployment of encryption solutions by businesses and organizations over the last few years. This has led to an increase in the fascination of cryptography & fascination. Considering this, we have curated this exclusive course that will teach you every essential concept revolving around Cryptography & Encryption so that you can help others protect businesses.
