I've not done much in the way of cryptography for many years because of the jobs that I've held not requiring it. I've begun exploring and revisiting some things to freshen up my experience and understanding. This was a great way to revisit with good detailed explanations in the step by step clips that were offered. Great for beginners or just an overall refresher.


This course is Hands On. I will  teach you the theory and  the practical usage.

You will understand how HTTPS works with public key cryptography and how to use Hash functions to keep your files integrity safe


WHY openSSL cryptography ?

Cryptography is everywhere, if you are an ethical hacker, Developer, an IT manager or anyone who hangs around with technology, than this is the stuff that you deal with everyday

In this course you will learn to generate symmetric keys , public keys, certificate request, hash functions and more

You will understand the theoretical concepts of encryption using public and private keys , and use the power of openSSL to apply them


This course is HANDS ON . no power points or fancy words .


WHAT WILL YOU LEARN

  • how encryption works

  • when do we use encryption

  • cipher algorithm operations

  • what are symmetric keys

  • generate and apply symmetric keys on openSSL

  • hash functions

  • when do we use hash functions for integrity and when for confidentiality

  • hash different files on your computers

  • public key cryptography

  • the theory beyond public and private key

  • digital signatures

  • create your own certificate signing request

  • crate your own self sign request


TARGET AUDIENCE

  • Students who have little or no experience in cryptography, and are curious to finally understand the mysterious concepts

  • Anyone who is interested in encryption and hashing techniques , wants to understand and learn how to apply them

  • Ethical hackers, web developers and developers who wants to extend their knowledge on cryptography


  • fully Understand the concepts of encryption algorithm's, hands on. create symmetric and asymmetric keys, generate certificates, apply hash functions

Very well done on the pace for 1.0 was able to jump it up to 1.5 without any issues for most of the course, only a couple of times needed to slow it back to 1.0 to be able to type out the spoken words for my notes. Great pace great captions great examples.

sloppy presentation, skims the surface on topics, no visuals to help learner understand the transactions for the interactions. time to retire the course.

Good introduction to Cryptography if you need it. Personally, I was expecting more Openssl hand-on stuff.

I feel like this course could use 2 improvements:

1. Eliminate the music at the start of each video.

2. Include sequence diagrams for the symmetric & asymmetric scenarios and spend time on those.

The videos are short making the intro video appear to many times. This intro is a little irritating to view and can be hard to scrub past accurately.
Content was good, great for beginners or a refresher of the fundamentals.

could use more flows, pictures, and animations to help understand what is going on instead of talking in front of a blank terminal. It does have some but could use a lot more. overall a pretty good course that covers the basics.
