Course Title
Cryptographic Technologies
Description
Cryptographic technologies play a pivotal role in safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring the security and integrity of digital communication. Topics include: fundamentals of cryptography, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hash functions, digital signatures, certificate authority, and public key infrastructure (PKI). Particular iterative hash constructions, such as Message Digest–algorithm 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash–algorithm 1 (SHA-1) and their properties, are discussed before we move on to strong encryption algorithms including Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Cipher Blocker Chaining (CBC) and its less advanced algorithm, Electronic Code Book (ECB), and Rivest–Shamir–Adleman algorithm (RSA) to secure communication channels.
