Provides a comprehensive introduction to cryptographic history, current technology, best practices and known attacker techniques. A great deal of material is covered in a relatively compact program.

Cutting edge cryptography topics. Good explanations and slides, but pause button is highly recommended. Can be a bit too mathematical for the general public, and not very formal for mathematicians.

An absolute gem of a course from Prof. Boneh. Uplifted me in so many different ways. I eagerly await the CS355 equivalent from Prof. Boneh.

Very interesting. A little fast paced. As suggested, we should pause, think, and then continue, in order to get most out of the course.

Many thanks to Dan Boneh and everyone involved in preparing this amazing course!
I can't wait for Cryptography 2 (hopefully this fall?).

Awesome, good explanations, pretty hard on the math area (for me) but once you understand the way Dan explains it it's easy to follow.

Best course for learning cryptography. Assignments questions are challenging and test every knowledge you learn during the course.
