Introduction to Cryptography Training - Level 1
Introduction to Cryptography Training Course Description - The TONEX cryptography training course introduces you to a variety of topics in cryptography such as: Information security and cryptography, stream and block ciphers, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, public key infrastructure (PKI) encryption, public key encryption, hash functions, digital signatures, and digital certificates.
Cryptography is simply expressed as having the concept in a secret code. Such a definition will help the computer security to preserve the authentication, privacy, integrity and confidentiality of data. By taking the TONEX cryptography training, you will understand the main concept of cryptography, classification of ciphers, Stream ciphers, clock control generators, filter generators and combination generators. Moreover, you will learn about block ciphers, their modes of operation and advanced encryption standards (AES).
