• Prepare for the CompTIA Security+ exam by better understanding cryptography and PKI, one of the six exam domains.
• Understand ciphers, binary, hashing, symmetric and asymmetric cryptosystems, digital signatures and certificates, and public key infrastructure.

Requirements

• Basic familiarity with PCs and networks.
• A curiosity about cryptography, the science of encryption and decryption, and how it keeps our data safe across networks.
• There are no specific prerequisites, since the course covers the topic in detail.

Target audience

• Beginner-level Cyber or IT Security Technicians who want to better understand how crucial cryptography is to their job.
• Students of any network security course (including my CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501): The Total Course) who would like to get a better grasp on how cryptography is used throughout the Internet.
• PC and Network technicians looking to expand their understanding of cryptography in IT security.
• Anyone curious about cryptography in technology, and how we keep our data safe from hackers as it travels across networks.
