Course 5 - Cryptography
This is the fifth course under the specialization SSCP. In this course, we will explore the field of cryptography, including public-key infrastructures (PKIs), certificates, and digital signing. Here we enter the realm of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, since we use cryptography to protect data from unauthorized disclosure and improper modification and use encryption to regulate the ability of users to log in to systems and applications. Course 5 Learning Objectives After completing this course, the participant will be able to: - Recognize the impacts of cryptography on confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. - Determine the requirements for cryptography when handling sensitive data. - Identify regulatory and industry best practices in cryptography. - Define cryptography entropy. - Differentiate common cryptographic techniques used to enhance the security of sensitive data including hashing, salting, symmetric/asymmetric encryption, and elliptic curve cryptography. - Identify the features and requirements of nonrepudiation. - Compare the strength of different encryption algorithms and keys. - Describe the process of identifying and addressing cryptographic attacks. - Define the features of and the implementation process of secure services and protocols. - Discuss common use cases for secure services and protocols. - Explain limitations and vulnerabilities in the implementation of secure protocols. - Summarize fundamental key management concepts. - Describe the features of the Web of Trust (WoT) in relation to cryptographic protocols.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
