Master Practical Cryptography – Learn Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption, Hashing, PKI, Key Management, & Cryptanalysis

What you'll learn
- Explain the core principles of Modern Cryptography and its role in Cybersecurity for IT, Embedded and Automotive Systems.
- Understand Block-Cipher Modes of Operations (ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB, CTR, GCM) in practice.
- Understand Cryptographic Primitives such as AES, RSA, ECC, HMAC, PKI, ECDH, TLS, and SHA family functions.
- Analyze Key-Management techniques including Generation, Storage, and Exchange protocols (e.g., Diffie-Hellman and Public-Key).
- Describe the structure and components of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and its use in securing Embedded abd Automotive Communications.
- Apply a structured, hands-on approach to securing real-world automotive embedded systems.
- Design secure communication systems for embedded devices using cryptography.
- Understand Hardware components (SHE, HSM, TPM, TEE) and their role in Securing Modern Systems.

Requirements
- Basic knowledge of computer systems (processors, memory, communication) is helpful but not mandatory.
- Basic knowledge about the Automotive Industry is good but not a must, we will try to learn everything together from the beginning.
- Familiarity with programming (Python, C, or C++) will enhance hands-on exercises, though beginners can still follow along.

Description
Embedded Systems power the Modern World. From Connected Vehicles and Industrial Controllers to IOT devices in smart cities and Healthcare, these systems must rely on secure communication and trusted operations to function safely.

With the growing threat of Cyberattacks,Protecting Embedded Systems has become Mission-Critical— andCryptographyis at the center of this defense.

This course,Automotive Embedded Cybersecurity: Practical Cryptography, is a complete, practice-oriented guide to understanding and applying cryptography inAutomotive, IOT, and Industrial Embedded Environments.

It goes beyond theory to show how cryptographic mechanisms are implemented, tested, and applied in real-world systems that demand reliability, safety, and security.

Through more than 100 structured lectures and 7+ hours of high-quality content, you will:

Learn the foundations of modern cryptography and how they apply to embedded systems.

Compare symmetric and asymmetric encryption techniques and their practical use cases.

Explore block ciphers, stream ciphers, hash functions, and message authentication codes.

Understand secure key generation, storage, and exchange protocols in resource-constrained devices.

Study Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and its role in securing communication for vehicles, IoT devices, and industrial controllers.

Examine automotive applications including secure boot, root of trust, chain of trust, ECU authentication, and CAN bus protection.

Extend these concepts to IoT and industrial embedded systems, with focus on secure updates, device authentication, and secure communication protocols.

Analyze cryptographic attacks and cryptanalysis techniques to understand vulnerabilities and build stronger defenses.

Align cryptographic design with international cybersecurity standards such asCRA,ISO/SAE 21434,UNECE R155/R156, and best practices from IoT and industrial security frameworks.

This is not just a cryptography theory course. You’ll gain practical insights, hands-on demonstrations, and case studies that show how cryptographic concepts translate directly into embedded systems security. By the end, you’ll be able todesign, evaluate, and implement secure communication systemsfor a wide range of applications, from connected cars to industrial IoT networks.

Take this course to gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to secure embedded systems inAutomotive, IOT, and Industrial Domains, and become a valuable expert in one of the most critical areas of modern technology.

Who this course is for:
- Automotive and Embedded System Engineers with no prior Cybersecurity Experience.
- Cybersecurity Professionals looking to specialize in the Automotive/Embedded Domains.
- Computer science and electrical engineering students who want to gain practical knowledge in applied cryptography.
- Anyone with curiosity about cryptography who wants to see how it protects real-world automotive applications.
