I invest a lot of time in data storage and synchronization tools (i'm a fan of immutable stores), but i know very little about crypto.

I'd like to know enough to be able to confidently use existing tools to encrypt data at rest, transit, pub/priv key, etc.

Would this course give me such a foundation to achieve this?



I'd say yes, provided you complement the better mental model this course will give you with a reputable cookbook list of how to do X in practice (maybe start at https://latacora.micro.blog/2018/04/03/cryptographic-right-a...), and everything you'd like to do falls into some well-established pattern.

But then you probably shouldn't trust my opinion, because I'm not a domain expert (although I have been involved in security design together with people who are domain experts), and whatever understanding I had is probably somewhat rusty by now .
