Description
SUMMARYThis course is providing to you unusual but powerful way to exploit "Public Key Cryptography" in R Statistical Software. Join this course to understand how it works:Learn and practice using Cryptography to securely keep your passwords and even entire datasets*Learn entire process using Open-Source R Statistical Software and openssl libraryUse encryption without the need of paid, or free 'locked' softwareUse provided Code to easily encrypt/decrypt passwords or text within secondsManage Private, Public Key: generate them, store them as a fileAdditionally learn more use cases for encryption (subject of further course development, content may change):
using ShinyApp to manage your keys, store, encrypt passwordsstoring credentials encrypted in GitHub and securely sharing them to collaboratorsencrypting passwords in the R-Server projects of ShinyAppsstoring Private Key on USB Stickstoring encrypted information in Google Drive accountfast encryption/decryption of passwords using batch / shell scriptshashing: be able to generate your unique password strings* encrypting of folders, files, video, etc are out of scope of this courseWHAT:The main goal of this course is to practice using open source encryption algorithms from openssl package. This knowledge will help to keep and protect our secrets without using 'locked software'. Interactively learn using free R-Studio user interface. Learn how to generate and use your own private keys, sharing common credentials using encryption and more. Entire material is available to keep experimenting further to reach your custom desired resultsWHY: Very minimum coding skills are required! There will not be any deep information or attempt to develop top secret algorithm. Yet course will give you huge advantage to practically exploit Public Key Cryptography for the day to day useYou WILL…know exactly all the steps you need to take during encryption/decryption process. create your own routine on managing passwords.not rely anymore on paid or free locked software that you don't know and have no idea what is happening behind the scenes. you don't risk to download computer virus or trojan when you are getting this softwarealso get multiple practice exercises so you will keep yourself engaged during the course.get more ideas on how to apply public key cryptography especially if you are already an R User be able to spend only few minutes to start using provided template [in case you already know R]know related risks of loosing information due to improper key management***********************************************************************************************************************DISCLAIMERAll methods are provided for training purposes. Course developed by non security expert by explaining the practical use of OpenSSL software library in R Statistical Language. There is a risk that you can loose your information in case you are not properly follow the instructions or by loosing your private key or alike. Make sure you know what you do at any time when using the material of the course and beyond. Always test your knowledge on dummy data before applying it to real data… Memory areas for your private key, secrets, or passphrase are not securely cleaned after use. Always check legal status of using cryptography in your country of residenceYou are using the material of the course at your own risk! Author of this course can not be responsible for any direct or indirect damage due to loss or leak of information
