Certified Encryption Specialist (ECES)

EC‐Council’s Certified Encryption Specialist (E|CES) program is designed to introduce professionals and students to the intricate field of cryptography. Covering a broad spectrum of topics, the E|CES program delves into modern symmetric key cryptography, offering detailed insights into Feistel Networks, Data Encryption Standard (DES), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithms. Additionally, students gain familiarity with various other algorithms, including Blowfish, Twofish, Skipjack, CAST, TEA, and more. The curriculum extends to information theory basics as applied to cryptography, covering essential concepts such as hashing algorithms (MD5, MD6, SHA, GOST, RIPMD 256) and asymmetric cryptography with in-depth discussions on Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), Elgamal, Elliptic Curve, and Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA).
