Cryptography is far more than just selecting an algorithm and calling the encrypt or decrypt method. Explore the modes of operation for encryption algorithms as well as when particular algorithms are best suited to the data being protected.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Describe and identify data that has been encrypted using the ecb mode
    Specify how cipher block chaining uses an iv, or initialization vector, to make data appear random
    Describe how propagating cipher block chaining mode improved on cbc by causing small changes to each block encrypted
    Describe the cipher feedback mode and how it builds on cbc and makes a block cipher into a stream cipher
    Describe the output feedback mode and how it can use the same process for encryption and decryption
    Describe the counter mode and how it can be used for parallelizing encryption and decryption
    Use a simple aes implementation to encrypt and decrypt data and compare the results to the nist standard to confirm operation of the algorithm
    Describe how the des and 3des algorithms work to encrypt and decrypt data
    Describe the blowfish block cipher algorithm and its properties
  • Describe the rc4 streaming cipher and its properties
    Describe the elgamal cipher algorithm and its usage
    Describe the rsa public-key encryption and its operation
    Describe the deprecated md5 and sha1 algorithms and the newly chosen replacement, sha3
    Apply and describe the operation of the sha2 hashing algorithms
    Describe the hash message authentication code, or hmac, and its use to authenticate and verify the integrity of a message
    Identify and describe basic key management policies and procedures
    Describe how to cryptographically exchange keys securely
    Identify the role and purpose of key escrow policies and procedures
