Cryptology is crucial to network security as it secures data, information, and communication. Take this course to build a strong foundation in cryptography and cryptanalysis - the two aspects of cryptology.
This course will help you gain a better understanding of two objectives of the security architecture and engineering domain: selecting and determining cryptographic solutions and understanding methods of cryptanalytic attacks. These will support your exploration of controls and countermeasures to be implemented going forward in the security lifecycle.
You'll be able to outline practical cryptographic solutions and cryptanalysis and prepare for the CISSP exam after completing this course.
