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.

Very good course with a level accessible without the need to be a mathematical guru. Maybe some videos are a little beat too long.

Above all, the clarity, quality and engaging nature of Professors Boneh's videos made this a great learning experience. Thanks.

Very interesting but sometimes too detailed. Courses often needs good knowledge in mathematics althought there are some reviews.

A bit hard to follow some of the math stuff if you don't have a background it in, but pretty informative course overall

Course is very interesting but, in my opinion, it is a bit theoretical. I would like the course were more practical.

Fantastic course that gives the basic notions of cryptography. Both practical a theoretical tests are very useful.

It is a good course of action but basically it focuses mainly on theoretical part of the Computer's Security.

Great course, but a bit disappointed by the fact that I'll have to do it all over again to get a certificate.

Need some base for the new students on this subject, or recommend some first steps before this course

Very thorough, lot's of math. A bit too academic for my taste, it's not really useful in practice.

Loved the lectures, but the assignments were hair-pulling and focused on nomenclature.
