Course Overview
The Foundations Of Cryptography certification course gives an amazing free learning experience through the platform of Swayam. The course is about cryptography. The main aim of the programme is to provide the basis as well as modern cryptography. The course will be mentored by the faculty of the International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore and topics like the construction of cryptographic objects, safeguarding properties of the cryptographic object, and other topics related to the Foundations Of Cryptography certification syllabus will be covered in the time span of 3 months. However, students can take more than 3 months to learn from the programme as it is a self-paced course.
The Foundations Of Cryptography training programme also offers certificates for the course when the candidates pass an offline exam according to the terms and conditions specified on the website. However, candidates have the full freedom to not appear for the exam as it is optional and still access the course completely. The Foundations Of Cryptography online course by Swayam deals with the field of computer science so students are expected to have basic knowledge of computer science and algorithms.
