Course Description
This course introduces advanced data encryption techniques that are essential to ensure data security, especially on the cloud. The topics to be covered include an overview from public key infrastructure (PKI) to attribute-based encryption (ABE), math foundation and identity-based encryption (IBE), fuzzy IBE, key-policy attribute-based encryption (KP-ABE), and ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE).
