IEEE Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and its vital role in safeguarding digital communications.
Description
The PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) course covers various aspects of securing digital communications using cryptography and digital certificates.
1. The first chapter, Cyber Hygiene with Law, provides an overview of cyber threats and best practices for maintaining good cyber hygiene to prevent and respond to cyber-attacks. It also covers the legal and regulatory frameworks that organizations must comply with to protect sensitive data.
2. The second chapter, Cryptography and PKI Algorithm, introduces the basics of cryptography and the principles behind PKI, including digital certificates, public and private keys, and encryption algorithms.
3. The third chapter, AES and PKI Algorithms delve deeper into the use of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and other PKI algorithms to protect data at rest and in transit.
4. The fourth chapter, Digital Signatures, covers the use of digital signatures to verify the authenticity of electronic documents and messages.
5. The fifth chapter, PKCS standards, explains the PKCS (Public Key Cryptography Standards) and their use in implementing PKI-based security solutions.
6. The sixth chapter, OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional), introduces the OSCP certification and the skills needed to become a penetration tester.
7. The seventh chapter, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), covers the SSL protocol used for securing web communications and the role of SSL certificates in providing end-to-end encryption.
8. The eighth chapter, eSign (Electronic Signatures), explains the legal and technical requirements for using electronic signatures to sign and authenticate digital documents.
9. The final chapter, Authentication Protocols, covers various authentication protocols and their use in verifying the identity of users and devices in a network.
Together, these chapters provide a comprehensive understanding of PKI and its role in securing digital communications in today's increasingly interconnected world.
