Overview of Cryptography Course
55 minutes
Course description
This course will review the core aspects of cryptography and the need for it. We take a pragmatic approach to understanding how and why cryptography and information security go hand-in-hand. We'll begin by discussing the history and the reasons to why cryptography overlaps with the goals of confidentiality, integrity and availability within information security. We will also discuss the core aspects of secure protocols needed to establish confidential conversations at a network level, and the public-key infrastructure systems used to support various secure communication.
