Course Overview

The Cryptography and Network Security Certification Course offered by Swayam and the Indian Institute of Kharagpur aims to introduce the aspirants to areas of cryptography and cryptanalysis. This programme develops a basic understanding of the algorithms used to protect users online and to understand some of the design choices behind these algorithms. Swayam’s goal is to create a workable knowledge of the mathematics used in cryptology in this course. A huge variety of basic cryptographic primitives will be discussed during the tenure along with functional encryption, recent developments in some advanced topics like identity-based encryption, bitcoin and crypto-currency, and so on.

The Cryptography and Network Security Online Course, by Swayam, is very helpful in understanding challenges for cybersecurity that includes mobile security, cloud security, endpoint security, network security and data security. This course demands no specific qualification or educational background to learn the concepts of cryptography and network security. The course is free to enroll in and learn from. The programme instructor will be Prof. Sourav Mukhopadhyay from IIT Kharagpur. There will be industry support from Dubai (UAE), DRDO, SAG, Stratign FZE, WESSE, NTRO and ISRO available for the students. The course certification comes with the candidate's name, photograph and score in the final exam with the breakup.
