Onlinesicherheit und Kryptographie
Eintägiger Kurs - Onlinesicherheit und Kryptographie
Overview
Cryptography is a vital part of cyber security.
Cryptography is a set of techniques that enable security and trust by providing confidentiality, authentication, and data integrity. Many secure applications and protocols rely on combinations of properly applied and supported cryptographic techniques, from protecting personal and commercial information using encryption, to e-commerce, secure communication, IoT and network security.
This course develops in a progressive way an overall understanding of cryptography. It adopts a generic approach to build a core competence that can be taken away and readily applied to many different products, systems and architectures.
The course covers all of the main cryptographic techniques, including their different functions and characteristics, how they are properly applied, and how they work together to achieve different security objectives. The course then looks at a subject vital to the effective use of such techniques, namely cryptographic key management. This encompasses the whole key life cycle, including digital certificates and PKI.
Course Objectives
- Develop a broad knowledge that can be applied across many different systems and applications
- Establish a solid foundation on which to make judgements or assessments of security solutions
- Appreciate the different key management options and requirements necessary for the use of cryptographic techniques to be truly effective and appropriate
Course Description
