Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) with OpenSSL (RSA and ECC)
Understand Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), OpenSSL, CSR, Certificates, Public Key Cryptosystems (RSA and ECC) in Java
Description
In this course you will learn about cryptography, certificates and certificate signing requests (CSRs) with OpenSSL. You will understand the most popular pubic key (asymmetric) cryptosystems on a step by step basis - such as RSA and Elliptic Curve cryptosystems. You can learn about the theory as well as the implementation for every approach.
