Asymmetric Cryptography

This lecture covers the commonly used asymmetric algorithms that are used to secure a channel so it can be used to exchange a symmetric key. It also introduces the digest hash functions, the public key infrastructure, and secure socket connections.

• The Diffie-Hellman-ElGamal Algorithm
• The RSA Algorithm
• Secure hash Functions
• The Signing Authority
• Secure Protocols
• JSSE (out-of-scope for the labtest)

• Examine the asymmetric programs in jce in the Resource Directory.
