About this Course
This free course on Encryption Basics provides learners with a thorough understanding of the principles, benefits, and use cases of encryption. The curriculum is divided into several sections, starting with the prerequisites for encryption, followed by an overview of cryptography, encryption, and the differences between them. The course then covers the different types of encryption, encryption algorithms, and protocols, as well as how encryption and decryption work. Additionally, the course covers the dangers of brute force attacks and how encryption can help prevent them. By the end of the course, learners will have gained a solid foundation in encryption, allowing them to appreciate its benefits and understand its role in protecting data and information.
Course Outline
This module will briefly describe encryption which the learners should know before diving into encryption.
This module will focus on explaining the major prerequisites for encryption, such as cyber security, the need for cyber security, and cyber attacks.
Cryptography is the study of techniques for secure communication between sender and receiver. Cryptography is also known as Cryptology.
Encryption is the process of securing digital data using mathematical techniques with the help of a key used to encrypt and decrypt the data. It basically converts plaintext into Ciphertext. Encryption protects private information and sensitive data between the client and the server.
This course focuses on describing the significant differences between cryptography and encryption. The significant difference between Encryption and Cryptography is that encryption is the technique of securing sensitive data from hackers. In contrast, Cryptography studies techniques for securing sensitive data from hackers.
