The Applied Cryptography specialization consists of four courses: Cryptography and Information Theory, Symmetric Cryptography, Asymmetric Cryptography and Key Management, and Cryptographic Hash and Integrity Protection. These courses cover essential cryptographic concepts, algorithms, and protocols for information security.
Welcome to Cryptography and Information Theory! This course provides a comprehensive understanding of cryptography and information theory, exploring concepts such as entropy, information coding, and information-theoretical security. It contrasts information-theoretic security and computational security, laying the groundwork for cryptographic algorithm construction and security analyses.
Welcome to Symmetric Cryptography! This course focuses on the use of shared secret keys for message confidentiality, covering classical cryptography techniques and modern block ciphers such as DES, 3-DES, and AES. Learners will also explore different modes of block cipher operations.
Welcome to Asymmetric Cryptography and Key Management! This course delves into the principles of asymmetric cryptography, covering popular schemes like RSA and the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange protocol. Key distribution and management for both symmetric and public keys are also discussed.
Welcome to Cryptographic Hash and Integrity Protection! This course explores cryptographic hash functions, hash chains, and hash trees, as well as message authentication through symmetric key-based MAC and digital signatures based on asymmetric cryptography.
