Cert programs never cover the underlying details of cryptographic primitives, so I'm not surprised. Nor do they explain why things are the way they are.
If this is an area you're interested in, I would highly recommend the book Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier. There are others, but his is a great introduction on how a lot of this stuff works; it provides enough detail without getting buried in the weeds.
Thanks for the tip. I spent a while in academia and now I mostly learn for practical reasons like certifications, but also DIY and agriculture. I moved out to the sticks and spend more time identifying trees and observing animals than reading.
