CompTIA Security+: Basic Cryptography & Public Key Infrastructure

To prepare for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 certification exam you will need to be able to identify and describe basic cryptography concepts and their application in everyday use. You ll also need to recognize common aspects of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). In this CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 course you ll compare symmetric and asymmetric cryptography recognize the characteristics of a cryptographic key and contrast block and stream cipher operations. You ll explore the purpose and features of cryptographic hashing common key exchange mechanisms and various next-generation concepts such as lightweight cryptography quantum and post-quantum computing and homomorphic encryption. You ll move on to identify the mAIn aspects and core concepts associated with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Finally you ll distinguish several types of certificates and review different certificate formats.
