-
Private and Public Key Cryptosystems, DES, AES, Cryptoanalysis, RSA, Elliptic Curve Cryptography and Hashing
What you'll learn:- Understand the basics of private key encryption systems
- Caesar cipher and Vigenere cipher
- Frequency analysis and the Kasiski algorithm
- One Time Pad (OTP) and Shannon secrecy
- Random and pseudo-random numbers
- Data Encryption Standard (DES) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
- Understand the basics of public key encryption systems
- RSA and Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm
- Elliptic Curve Cryptography
- Modular arithmetic basics (Fermat's theorem, finding primes, integer factorization and discrete logarithm)
- Euclidean algorithm (greatest common divisor problem) and the extended Euclidean algorithm
- Understand hashing (MD5 and SHA)
In this course you will learn about cryptography and hashing in Python and Java as well. You will understand most of the private key (symmetric) and pubic key (asymmetric) cryptosystems on a step by step basis. You can learn about the theory as well as the implementation for every cryptographic algorithm - and how to crack these systems (so what are the weaknesses).
