Cryptography

Learning Objectives

• Differentiate between symmetric and asymmetric encryption.
• Implement secure password hashing using algorithms like bcrypt or Argon2.
• Explain how Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and SSL/TLS work.

Core Topics

Practical Exercise

Write a script that hashes a password using bcrypt, verifies a login attempt, and creates an asymmetric RSA key pair to encrypt a secret message.
