What you’ll learn
- Understand the basics of private key encryption /decryption methods!
Requirements to take this Course
- You should have an interest in cryptography as well as some programming knowledge in Python/Java!
Course Description By Instructor-
In this course, you will learn about cryptography. In this part of the series, you will consider most of the private key cryptosystems such as Caesar cipher, Vigenere cipher, Data Encryption Standard (DES) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The cryptosystems are implemented in Python as well as in Java.
