Abstract:
Key sizes, algorithms and elliptic curves make a difference in data protection. The more you learn about these properties, the better you will understand enough to make informed decisions that balance security, usability and performance. Dissecting a few representative algorithms shows how they work, as well as what the bit-strength actually means and how it differs between algorithms. Learn how public-key and shared-secret-key play together in real-world scenarios and how to choose the right algo+keylength for IT application scenarios, including PKI, IPSec and Kerberos. Also, it’s important to be familiar with the Diffie-Hellman method, which provides both strength and weakness to the entire framework.
