Section 3: Applying Cryptography in Today's World
In this section, we'll see the practical aspects of cryptographic techniques. We'll cover the standards that drive the need to encrypt and secure data. You'll learn the importance of the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) in ensuring trust among entities. In addition, you'll see how we can securely transmit data by using either an Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) Virtual Private Network (VPN). We'll then review how, given the many attacks designed to alter the integrity of our data and systems, there is a need to protect cryptographic techniques. Finally, we'll recognize how advances in technology will require stronger algorithms to encrypt and secure our data.
This section comprises the following chapters:
- Chapter 7, Adhering to Standards
- Chapter 8, Using a Public Key Infrastructure
- Chapter 9, Exploring IPsec and TLS
- Chapter 10, Protecting Cryptographic...
