Asymmetric Cryptography and Key Management

Description

This course will first review the principles of asymmetric cryptography and describe how the use of the pair of keys can provide different security properties.

Then, we will study the popular asymmetric schemes in the RSA cipher algorithm and the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange protocol and learn how and why they work to secure communications/access.

Lastly, we will discuss the key distribution and management for both symmetric keys and public keys and describe the important concepts in public-key distribution such as public-key authority, digital certificate, and public-key infrastructure.
