Cryptographic Basic Concepts: Knowing the Cryptographic Concepts

This module explores the fundamental principles of cryptography, a cornerstone of modern information security. It covers the following key areas:

1. Introduction to Cryptography:
   • Definition and importance in cybersecurity
   • Historical context and evolution
2. Basic Cryptographic Principles:
   • Confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity
   • Encryption and decryption processes
3. Types of Cryptography:
   • Symmetric cryptography: single key for encryption and decryption
   • Asymmetric cryptography: public and private key pairs
4. Key Management:
   • Generation, distribution, and storage of cryptographic keys
   • Key exchange protocols
5. Hash Functions:
   • One-way mathematical functions
   • Applications in data integrity and password storage
6. Digital Signatures:
   • Ensuring authenticity and non-repudiation
   • Implementation using asymmetric cryptography
7. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI):
   • Framework for managing digital certificates
   • Role of Certificate Authorities (CAs)
8. Common Cryptographic Algorithms:
   • Symmetric: AES, DES
   • Asymmetric: RSA, ECC
   • Hash: SHA, MD5
9. Cryptographic Protocols:
   • SSL/TLS for secure communications
   • IPsec for network layer security
10. Applications of Cryptography:
    • Secure communications
    • Data protection
    • Digital transactions and cryptocurrencies
