The Security chapter in the HA200 guide covers the security infrastructure, encryption, and auditing (about 50 pages). Authentication is covered in the Maintaining Users and Authorization chapter.
The training guide for HA240 covers all of these topics in some more detail plus the material for the Users and Authorization topic area (300 pages).
You can download the index of both guides from the SAP Training website (see links above) in case you want to note the objectives of each unit.
Security
For this topic, you need to understand how different implementations architecture (data mart, native applications, 3-tier application server) impact the security requirements and the tools you can use to monitor and configure security for SAP HANA. See,
SAP HANA Academy - Documentation: Security - User Authentication and SSO
Encryption
For this topic, you need to understand how encryption works for both secure communication (network) and persistence. What communication is encrypted out-of-the-box and what do you need to set up yourself? What role do certificates play and how are they configured? How can you configure data volumes, logs, and backups, and what role do SSFS keys have?
To see how you can manage SAP HANA encryption keys, see
SAP HANA Security Guide - Secured Internal Communication Channels
SAP HANA Security Guide - SSFS and Persistence Encryption
SAP HANA Administration Guide - Encryption Configuration
Auditing
For this topic, you need to understand how auditing works for SAP HANA, the events that can be audited (including mandatory audit events and unauditable events), how to configure auditing in cockpit, the audit trail targets and how to manage them, how to manage audit policies, the levels, and how to monitor auditing.
