[CISSP-D] Re: Some resources for understanding public key cryptography

Do keep in mind, make sure you know the domains well that have the most
content. I.e., there is a lot of material about Cryptography and Network
Communications, but probably not so much about Physical Security and
Operations Security. I'm guessing they build their question bank
accordingly.

There are some good documents on this topic in the NIST library
