Cryptographic Applications and Attacks
Cryptography is used to secure information and protect it from unauthorized access or modification. This course will teach you about the vulnerabilities in some cryptographic systems and the associated attacks.
What you'll learn
Modern digital systems rely on cryptography to ensure secure communication—but vulnerabilities in implementation can open the door to serious attacks. In this course, Cryptographic Applications and Attacks, you’ll learn attacks against cryptographic protocols and applications. First, you’ll explore basic cryptanalysis concepts. Next, you’ll discover attacks on PKI. Finally, you’ll learn how to attack TLS and SSL. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of attacks on cryptographic applications and protocols needed to implement stronger cryptographic protocols to secure information.
