Hi, I'm an EE looking to get into the fields I mentioned above. Does anyone know any good schools for this?
Cryptography is the practice of securing information by converting it into a code or cipher, while steganography is the practice of hiding information within other information. Cryptography focuses on making the message unreadable to anyone who is not authorized to access it, while steganography focuses on making the message undetectable to anyone except the intended recipient.
Some of the top schools for studying cryptography and steganography include Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, University of California - Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, and University of Maryland.
Graduate programs in cryptography and steganography typically offer courses in advanced mathematics, computer science, information security, network security, and data privacy. Some programs may also offer specialized courses in areas such as cryptanalysis, digital forensics, and data hiding techniques.
Graduates of a cryptography and steganography program can pursue careers in various industries such as government agencies, cybersecurity firms, financial institutions, and technology companies. Some job titles include cryptographer, information security analyst, network security engineer, and data privacy consultant.
While a graduate degree is not always required for a career in cryptography and steganography, it can greatly enhance job prospects and provide a deeper understanding of the field. A graduate degree can also lead to higher positions and salaries in the industry. However, there are also certificate programs and professional development courses available for those who want to gain specialized knowledge in cryptography and steganography without pursuing a full graduate degree.
