Early on in the development of TCP/IP and the application layer protocols and services, it was decided not no build native security but rather to add new secure mechanisms and protocols. The aim was to maintain internetworking and interoperability without adding too much overhead. Knowing how these protocols work and how you can implement them will change how you protect your organization's information.
Use this course to get abreast of some of the most vital secure protocols and their implementation along with other core services, such as key management, web of trust (WOT), and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
Upon course completion, you'll be able to detail how and why these protocols and services are used. This course will help you in the lead-up to taking the (ISC)² Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) 2021 exam.
