Select and determine cryptographic solutions

Overview

Core crypto: the lifecycle and key management, symmetric vs asymmetric (and elliptic-curve/quantum), PKI and certificates, digital signatures for integrity + nonrepudiation.

Key topics to master

  • Cryptographic lifecycle (key/algorithm selection)
  • Symmetric, asymmetric, elliptic curve, quantum methods
  • PKI (incl. quantum key distribution)
  • Digital signatures & certificates
  • Key management (rotation, escrow)
