Welcome to Unit 6Key Mangagement
One issue with symmetric key cryptography is that everyone needs the same key. Sharing keys isn't a big deal if it's just your neighbor. But if you need to send keys far away, it gets tricky. Public key cryptography solves this by using different keys for hiding and revealing information. So, one way to share keys far away is by using a public key system to hide them. In this part of the course, you'll learn about the Diffie-Hellman system for sharing keys. It's based on a tricky math problem called the discrete logarithm problem (DLP), so we'll go over some basic math ideas you'll need to understand this part of secret codes. You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and then reviewing the unit resources.
