Encryption Course
52 minutes
Course description
In this course, students will explore privacy and encryption fundamentals. We’ll start with a high-level overview, including many of the terms you’ll need to fully understand encryption concepts. The course then delves into ciphers, algorithms and concepts like randomness and types of cryptographic attacks. We’ll also cover symmetric and asymmetric encryption in depth and talk about cryptographic hashing. We’ll round out the course with a look at public-key infrastructure (PKI) and cryptographic systems.
