Cryptography skills
Cryptography skills are commonly used at my place of work. For this reason, the knowledge of cryptography has a greater impact on my activities as an employee of that firm who is determined to perform. As a software developer, the skills of cryptography are undisputed in the area, and therefore, the skills, knowledge, and theory from the course are aids of my advancement. They are assets in my work environment in the following ways:
The skills of quantum cryptography will help me ensure that the software we develop as a department in the company is so secure than the traditional ones. This is due to the vulnerability of data in the current economy. There is a need to advance the software used for communication between the company and its customers safer and freer from intrusion by any unauthorized person. The skills from quantum cryptography will help me develop such secure software that can guarantee communication safety in the company.
Cryptography reiterates on the use of digital signatures. The skills from this will help me develop software or system that will ensure that any official information from the company has a binding. The binding is the digital signature that differentiates an official communication of the company from the company’s faked information by the fraudsters in the Internet of Things, IoT. Fraudsters are fond of circulating information that is always meant for conning innocent persons who have good intentions and trust in the company. Therefore, in a quest to submerge their continuous intentions, the knowledge from cryptography will make develop a system that will thwart all these malevolent acts. In the end, the credibility of information or directive from my company will be judged by the digital signature.
Ciphers’ skills or encoding or encoding from this course are among the rich skills and knowledge that can be obtained from the course. The knowledge of ciphering will enable me to ensure the information at one end is enciphered until it reaches the intended persons. This will ensure information safety at my workplace, such that no unauthorized persons can alter or access information intended to reach other people during transfer. Knowing the most complex codes and cipher types, I will have the skill to complicate the information using ciphers like Beale, Dorabella, Kryptos, Polybius square, among others.
Through the course, I have acquired skills, theories, and knowledge about the Internet Protocol networks. The knowledge from this will assist me in my profession and work environment in ensuring that we have a system that ensures the company’s IP security, IPsec. This a security approach that attackers have been using to anonymously converse with the customer care department masquerading as a potential customer while they have any intention of attacking our systems.
In conclusion, the course will be of much importance considering the vulnerabilities available for companies, especially my company, that is quite competitive in the market. Cryptography skills and knowledge the solutions to our ever vulnerable data that have always been attacked and recovered before its too late.
