About the Course

In this MOOC, we will learn the basic concepts and principles of crytography, apply basic cryptoanalysis to decrypt messages encrypted with
mono-alphabetic substitution cipher, and discuss the strongest encryption technique of the one-time-pad and related quantum key distribution
systems. We will also learn the efficient symmetric key cryptography algorithms for encrypting data, discuss the DES and AES standards, study
the criteria for selecting AES standard, present the block cipher operating modes and discuss how they can prevent and detect the block
swapping attacks, and examine how to defend against replay attacks. We will learn the Diffie-Hellman Symmetric Key Excha...

The course content is excellent. It would be much better if some errors (like misspelled words, improper capitalization etc) would be corrected

Professor consistently drops the ball and allows the AWS credits to expire inside this course. You cannot complete it as of 12/20/2019. Coursera is not able to fix this, Amazon says to talk to Coursera. Coursera says to talk to the Professor, and the Professor doesn't respond to his campus emails.

You'll need some kind of pre-requisite computer programming knowledge to complete the course. The material given in the course is not sufficient for proper learning.

The course videos aren't creative and very monotonous. Boring.
