Modern Cryptography for Cybersecurity Professionals

Preface

In today's world, it's important to have confidence while either transmitting or storing data. Cryptography can provide confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation. But just what exactly is involved when we use cryptographic techniques? Modern Cryptography for Cybersecurity Professionals will help you gain a better understanding of the cryptographic protocols and processes that are necessary to secure data.

We'll learn how encryption can protect data, whether in motion or at rest. You'll get a better understanding of symmetric and asymmetric encryption and learn how a hash is used. You'll also see how a public key infrastructure and certificates enable trust between parties, so we can confidently encrypt and exchange ...
