COD 283 – Java Cryptography

Course Overview

This secure coding course explores the key concepts of public key cryptography and teaches you how to use the Java keytool command-line utility for creating and managing keys and keystores.

Topics include:

• How public and private key pairs work together to encrypt and decrypt data for secure transfer and to create and verify digital signature
• Generating secure encryption keys and identifying related issues such as pseudo random number generators (PRNGs), key derivation functions, and initialization vectors
• Selecting an appropriate symmetric encryption algorithm, cipher mode, and authenticated encryption mode
