How symmetric and asymmetric encryption and digital signatures work

To get hands-on experience with software examples, go to the SimpleLink Academy training and select ‘CC32xx training’ followed by ‘Wi-Fi’.

This video provides a ‘system-level’ view of how symmetric and asymmetric
encryption work. It briefly discusses the main asymmetric cryptosystems –
RSA and ECC – as well as explaining some core concepts such as entity and
message authentication. It also discusses specific use cases of asymmetric
encryption such as entity authentication, key exchange and digital
signatures. Digital signatures also include some discussion of the role of
secure hashing. There is no attempt to explain the mathematics used in
encryption.
