Cryptography Technologies for Securing Data and Communications
In this LinkedIn Learning, Cryptography: Technologies for Securing Data and Communications, sponsored by both LinkedIn Learning and Tech Diplomacy Academy. It is taught by Dr. Eugene Spafford, I learned a comprehensive understanding of cryptography and its significance in securing data and communications. The course covered the history of cryptography, various encryption mechanisms, and the policy implications of encryption. I learned about the role of cryptography in enhancing cybersecurity measures and how it ensures the security of data exchanges, particularly in private transmissions. Additionally, the course explored advanced encryption methods, applications of strong cryptography, and the future of cryptography, including quantum-safe cryptography. This knowledge is directly applicable to my career goals in IT security operations, network security, and ethical hacking, providing me with the foundational skills needed to protect individuals and organizations from cyber threats. The insights gained from this course will help me advance in my career by equipping me with the expertise to implement robust security controls and conduct thorough vulnerability assessments.
