Cryptography is foundational to modern cybersecurity and serves as a crucial pillar in protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access and tampering. This detailed training will delve into both historical and contemporary cryptographic methods. Participants will start with the principles of symmetrical encryption, where the same key is used for both encryption and decryption. Key algorithms such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) will be discussed in detail, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses in various scenarios. Next, the training will cover asymmetric encryption, often characterized by its use of key pairs – public and private keys. Attendees will explore RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) and understand how these systems facilitate secure communications over untrusted networks, such as the Internet. Additionally, the session will explain the significance of cryptographic hash functions, which ensure data integrity by generating a fixed-size string based on input data. Real-world applications will be demonstrated through case studies, showcasing how cryptography is employed in online banking, secure email, and blockchain technologies. Furthermore, participants will engage in hands-on activities to strengthen their grasp of cryptographic concepts, including creating and cracking simple encryption schemes. Ethical considerations and emerging trends, such as quantum cryptography and its potential impact on current practices, will also be explored. This training aims to equip participants with essential knowledge and skills that are applicable in various fields, making them valuable assets in today's data-driven landscape.
