Course Overview
Welcome to “Introduction to Cryptographic Libraries in Python,” an course designed to help you understand and implement secure programming practices using Python’s cryptographic libraries. This course provides a comprehensive overview of hashing and encryption techniques, equipping you with the tools needed to protect data and enhance the security of your applications.
We begin by introducing you to the fundamental concepts of cryptography and Python’s powerful libraries: hashlib, bcrypt, and cryptography. You’ll learn how to hash passwords securely using hashlib and bcrypt, and explore advanced techniques for both symmetric and asymmetric encryption with the cryptography library.
The course includes practical examples, such as hashing passwords for user authentication and encrypting data to maintain confidentiality. You’ll gain hands-on experience in securing sensitive information, understanding how hashing works for integrity checks, and leveraging encryption for data protection.
