Updated Mar 19, 2018

Using cryptography is far more than just selecting an algorithm and calling the encrypt or decrypt method. In this course, you will learn about the modes of operation for encryption algorithms as well as when particular algorithms are best suited to the data being protected. You will also learn how to manage cryptographic keys and how cryptanalysis can be used against weak cryptographic systems (even when using strong algorithms).
