Overview
In this course, Dean Bushmiller explores the essential principles of managing encryption keys and digital certificates. Acting as tamper-resistant digital passports, these certificates bind entities to credentials to ensure authenticity, message integrity, and non-repudiation. You will discover how these mechanisms build a reliable chain of trust and examine the gap between ideal Public Key Infrastructure concepts and real-world, vendor-driven implementations.
You will also master the practical processes required to align cryptography with business requirements. This includes developing robust key rotation plans, coordinating secure distribution, and enforcing strict accountability over authorized devices to effectively defend your organizational data.
