The Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) has been included in CompTIA cyber security exam objectives (Security+, CySA+, and CASP+, now known as SecurityX), going back several revisions. TLP is a set of rules that pertain to information sharing and disclosure.
CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) Cryptography – Part Three
The current version of the CompTIA Security+ exam has shifted focus to reflect advancements in Internet technology and current cybersecurity best practices. This change reflects advancements in Internet technology and current cybersecurity best practices. As a result, some deprecated cryptographic algorithms and embedded technologies have been removed. What hasn’t changed are exam objectives focused on three fundamental cryptographic technologies: symmetric key cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, and one-way hashing algorithms.
CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) Cryptography – Part Two
Although the exam objectives do not cover the history of cartography, it is important to know that cryptography existed before computers.Some early computers were developed to perform cryptanalysis functions. In 1917, American Edward Hebern created the first cryptography rotor machine by combining electrical circuitry with mechanical typewriter parts to scramble messages automatically. Users could type […]
