This free online Cryptography and Public-key Cryptosystem Training Course in Cryptography, highlights the cryptographic applications of the Discrete Logarithm Assumptions and the Public-Key Encryption Scheme. In the first section, you will learn about the definition of CPA security and CCA security in the context of Public-Key Encryption. You will also learn about the El Gamal Encryption Scheme, the CPA-security of the El Gamal Cipher and the solutions to the problems encountered when the El Gamal Encryption Scheme is adopted. The generic construction of a Public-Key Cryptosystem from the one-way trap-door permutation will also be highlighted in the first section of the course. You will also be shown the notion of COA (CPA)-secure variants of the RSA Public-key Cryptosystem.

In the next section, you will be introduced to the concept of Hybrid Public-Key Encryption where you will learn about Key Encapsulation Mechanism Paradigm, the Computational Diffie-Hellman-based Key Encapsulation Mechanism in the Random Oracle Model, and the Diffie-Hellman based Key Encapsulation Mechanism in the standard model. The course will discuss the generic construction of CCA-Secure Public-Key Cipher from any CCA-Secure Key Encapsulation Mechanism and CCA-Secure Symmetric-Key Cipher. Thereafter, you will also learn about the CCA secure instantiations of the Hybrid Public-Key Cryptosystem based on Diffie-Hellman Problems.

Lastly, you will learn about the Malleability of the Plain RSA cipher, CCA-insecurity of padded RSA and the Instantiation of the Public-Key Cryptosystem based on RSA Assumptions. This course is a great starting point for anyone who is looking to pursue a career in Cryptography. It will also be highly relevant to those who want to learn more about Public-Key Cryptosystems and Ciphers. Why wait, start this course today!
