This assessment goes beyond memorizing definitions—it places you in real-world security scenarios where you’ll choose, apply, and evaluate cryptographic techniques. From securing data in transit to verifying authenticity and integrity, each question challenges your ability to think like a security engineer.

You’ll be evaluated across four essential skill areas:

• Public Key Cryptography
Understand asymmetric encryption principles, key exchange protocols, and use cases like SSL/TLS, email encryption, and secure APIs.

• Private Key Cryptography
Apply symmetric encryption algorithms, manage key distribution, and assess trade-offs between speed and security.

• Digital Signatures
Use cryptographic signing methods to verify authenticity, non-repudiation, and integrity in digital transactions.

• Hashing & Authentication Codes
Implement hashing functions and message authentication codes (MACs) to protect against tampering and ensure data consistency.

This is where theory meets application—where cryptographic choices have direct consequences on security outcomes.

If you excel here, you’re not just learning algorithms—you’re safeguarding digital trust. Let’s begin.
