CISSP® Certification Domain 3: Security Architecture and Engineering Video Boot Camp for 2022 - Asymmetric encryption

The video tutorial covers the history and principles of symmetric and asymmetric encryption, focusing on key pairs, one-way functions, and prime numbers. It explains RSA cryptography, its public domain status, and its use in secure communications. The tutorial also introduces Diffie Hellman and elliptic curve cryptography, highlighting their roles in encryption. Finally, it provides an overview of various asymmetric encryption types, including RSA, DSA, Elgamal, and Knapsack.

Describe the significance of RSA in the context of asymmetric encryption.

What is the purpose of digital signatures in asymmetric cryptography?

List and briefly describe the six types of asymmetric encryption mentioned.
