Learner Reviews & Feedback for Cryptography I by Stanford University
About the Course
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 probl...
