A Practical Guide to Encryption and Certificate Authorities

Use encryption technologies to maximum advantage through a solid understanding of how they work and what capabilities they provide. Understand in practical terms what encryption is, what it can and cannot do, where it's been, where it's going and where it fits in the securing of your vital information assets. Learn why no matter what other controls anyone considers for current and future networks, encryption must always be there, either separately or as part of the structural framework. Analyze the entire area of Public Key Infrastructure from a practical business perspective. Participate in discussions that examine effects on end users, administrators and network performance. Learn what is involved, how it could affect your operations, and what you need to do to make PKI implementation successful.
