About the Course

Cryptography is an indispensable tool for protecting information in computer systems. In this course you will learn the inner workings of cryptographic systems and how to correctly use them in real-world applications. The course begins with a detailed discussion of how two parties who have a shared secret key can communicate securely when a powerful adversary eavesdrops and tampers with traffic. We will examine many deployed protocols and analyze mistakes in existing systems. The second half of the course discusses public-key techniques that let two parties generate a shared secret key. Throughout the course participants will be exposed to many exciting open problems in the field and work on fun (optional) programming projects. In a second course (Crypto II) we will cover more advanced cryptographic tasks such as zero-knowledge, privacy mechanisms, and other forms of encryption....

This course is not for beginners. It requires mathematical and computer skills (e.g. Python is required) which are not mentioned in the description. The course material is not well done, as it's just notes. The instructor goes too fast and doesn't explain things well. There are no examples, it's all very theoretical. The graded quizzes are very difficult, and completely at odds with what is said in class. Don't waste your time on this course, buy a good book, there are some out there.
