Cryptography and Information Theory

Applied Cryptography,

Welcome to Cryptography and Information Theory! This course combines cryptography (the techniques for protecting information from unauthorized access) and information theory (the study of information coding and transfer). More specifically, the course studies cryptography from the information-theoretical perspectives and discuss the concepts such as entropy and the attacker knowledge capabilities, e.g., Kerckhoff's Principle. It also contrasts information-theoretic security and computational security to highlight the different train of thoughts that drive the cryptographic algorithmic construction and the security analyses. This course is a part of the Applied Cryptography specialization.

What people are saying

mr chang explains everything

Mr Chang explains everything clearly, so that you can understand the material even if you don't have much time to deal with it.

then writes something different

Instructor sometimes mispeaks and then writes something different down during the math sessions.

whiteboard segments are great

The whiteboard segments are great, probably the best part of the course.

ok for busy people

Ok for busy people.

interesting both theoretical

too short explanations sometimes very very useful for me Interesting both theoretical and practical part of the course The course is brilliant!

mainly covers criteria

Simple, and effective :-) The course mainly covers criteria for security.

over 4 weeks

Spreading it over 4 weeks is too generous, it could probably be shortened to 3 or even 2.

questionable handwriting which

When mixed with some questionable handwriting which I assume is due to the digitizer it makes it hard to follow and you have to rewind to figure out what he meant instead of what he said but this is only a few times and it is possible.

subsequent crypto courses

The course was quite superficial on some topics, but keeping in mind that this is mostly a ramp-up to subsequent crypto courses, I think it was OK.

when mixed

abstract overview

The instructor is not clearly showing his idea; however, the course is an abstract overview.

basic concepts

A very neat and easy to follow course that introduces the basic concepts of cryptography and its use in modern world!
