Classical Cryptosystems and Core Concepts
Introduction to Applied Cryptography,
Welcome to Introduction to Applied Cryptography. Cryptography is an essential component of cybersecurity. The need to protect sensitive information and ensure the integrity of industrial control processes has placed a premium on cybersecurity skills in today’s information technology market. Demand for cybersecurity jobs is expected to rise 6 million globally by 2019, with a projected shortfall of 1.5 million, according to Symantec, the world’s largest security software vendor. According to Forbes, the cybersecurity market is expected to grow from $75 billion in 2015 to $170 billion by 2020. In this specialization, you will learn basic security issues in computer communications, classical cryptographic algorithms, symmetric-key cryptography, public-key cryptography, authentication, and digital signatures. These topics should prove especially useful to you if you are new to cybersecurity Course 1, Classical Cryptosystems, introduces you to basic concepts and terminology related to cryptography and cryptanalysis. It is recommended that you have a basic knowledge of computer science and basic math skills such as algebra and probability.

mnauel antonio diaz ricalde
Saludos Mnauel Antonio Diaz Ricalde A great course!
too many historical tales
Too many historical tales, too few modern technologies, and almost no technical details or math.
cryptography specially hash functions
Very good introduction course with great supplementary materials and examples Excellent introductory course Cover every little details of Cryptography specially hash functions The lectures were educational, and interesting without speaking down to you.
introduction intéressante et complète
too pooring , not interactive , it will be better if it integrate solving problem with programming Introduction intéressante et complète aux principes et systèmes essentiels de la cryptographie.
aux principes et systèmes
conocimientos en el mundo
it is nice Excelente Curso en la cual a fortalecido mis conocimientos en el mundo de la Criptología.
really understand what happening
However at times (especially at the hashing part) it gets really complex and you'll need to listen and read it multiple times, and find some simplified examples outside of the course to really understand what happening.
also detailed example
Only thing which I wish to have more is a little more hands on and also detailed example about Vigenere cipher Very difficult course if you have no previous experience with cryptoanalysis and recent stats, but good because it makes you think!
fortalecido mis conocimientos
instructor had slowed
Would have absorbed the course material more concretely if the instructor had slowed down on the pace at which concepts were being disseminated.
integrate solving problem
upload your videos
excellent course Thank you for taking the time to upload your videos.
