Belfast City Council - Cryptography and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Available from multiple providers

Earners of this badge have been given an introduction to the fundamental concepts of cryptography and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Cryptography is the practice of securing information by converting it into a form that is unintelligible to unauthorised users. PKI, on the other hand, is a framework that uses cryptographic techniques to enable secure communication, authentication, and data integrity.

Criteria

Earner has explored the key components of cryptography, including encryption, decryption, symmetric and asymmetric algorithms, and hashing.

Earner has learned how cryptographic algorithms and protocols work to protect data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. Additionally, earner has gained an understanding of the different types of attacks that can compromise cryptographic systems and the methods used to mitigate them.

Earners has learned about the concept of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), which is a framework that supports the creation, distribution, and management of digital certificates.

Earner has learned about the roles and responsibilities of Certificate Authorities (CAs), Registration Authorities (RAs), and other entities involved in PKI. Earners have also explored the process of certificate enrolment, validation, and revocation.

This badge is open to all.
