Java Public Key Cryptography

Public key cryptography is a critical framework for secure communications and data transfer in Java applications. It operates on the principles of asymmetric cryptography, which involves producing a bound pair of keys

one public and one private. The private key remains confidential, like a password, while the public key is made available to anyone, much like an email address. This dual-key system serves two purposes

the first is encryption and the second is for digital signatures. This course provides learners with the knowledge and skills to apply best practices for using Public Key Cryptography in Java.
