Practical Encryption: Unlocking the Secrets of Cybersecurity! 🔐🌐

Course Headline: Learn how encryption, hashing, digital signatures, SSL/TLS, and digital certificates really work!

Introduction: Encryption might seem like a simple process: you scramble information so that only authorized parties can read it. But delve deeper into the world of cybersecurity, and you'll find a complex tapestry of algorithms, protocols, and real-world applications designed to protect data in an increasingly digital landscape. Welcome to "Practical Encryption," where I, Paul Mahon, will guide you through the intricacies of encryption and its critical role in securing information.

Course Overview: In this comprehensive course, we'll cover a variety of essential topics:

• Symmetric Encryption: Learn how the same key is used for both encrypting and decrypting data, and why it's crucial to keep that key confidential.

• Public Key Encryption: Discover how two separate keys - one public, one private - secure communications and transactions over insecure networks.

• Digital Signatures: Explore the technology behind signing digital documents, ensuring authenticity and integrity of data.

• Hashing: Understand the principles of hashing functions that are vital for data integrity and password storage.

• SSL/TLS Protocols & Digital Certificates: Gain insights into securely connecting to websites and how certificates authenticate online services and protect sensitive transactions.

What You'll Learn:

✅ The Basics of Encryption: We'll start with the fundamentals, breaking down complex concepts into digestible pieces.

✅ Real-World Applications: Go beyond theoretical knowledge and see how these concepts are applied in various scenarios, from securing emails to safeguarding online transactions.

✅ Hands-On Practice: Implement what you learn using Python code and open-source applications. Don't worry if you're not a seasoned coder; Python is user-friendly and perfect for this course.

✅ Key Concepts & Practices: Dive deep into key lengths, ciphers, hashing algorithms, and the role of Certificate Authorities in maintaining secure online ecosystems.
