Encryption, Public Key Infrastructure Architecture and Administration (ITOP 2414)
This course covers topics on encryption technology, security techniques, and their application to a production network. Students will gain conceptual overviews of cryptographic algorithms, confidentiality, integrity, authentication, non-repudiation, access control, and cryptographic standards and protocols. Students will examine public key infrastructure (PKI) concepts, including certificates, revocation and trust models.
