Mastering Access Control: Keys, RSA, and Smart Card Security 🔐

Smart card security is sophisticated and complex. It's also evolving. The technical and mathematical depth of these technologies can be daunting, but we can still explore the basic concepts with simple examples. Even the most experienced cryptographic experts know Alice and Bob, and still use them to explain and develop solutions to today's smart card challenges.

This video explains key diversification (sometimes called PKI, Public Key Infrastructure, or Public Key Cryptography), public and private key pairs, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, the RSA and Diffie-Hellman algorithms, Elliptic Curve, and more.
