By the end of this course, you will be proficient in implementing security measures in cloud and cryptographic contexts.

Syllabus

Cloud Computing and Cryptography

This module covers cloud computing and cryptography. These technologies are fundamentals in how we store, process, and protect data. The cloud has changed how businesses and individuals store and access data, and run applications. You will learn about common vulnerabilities in cloud environments, techniques for assessing cloud security, and strategies for securing cloud-based assets. You will also learn about how cloud computing and cryptography (the art and science of securing communications and data) intersect in data encryption, and about methods used to encrypt data in transit. You will also be introduced to the new post-quantum cryptography algorithms.
