Cryptography I

The homeworks and programming assignments are consistently difficult but manageable.

The lecture videos are engaging and the programming assignments are interesting.

Additionally, the assignments (both quizzes and programming assignments) are quite interesting.

The content is very well done and presented, the problem sets challenging enough and the programming assignments are interesting and really worth completing.

Programming assignments are especially interesting.

While taking the course, I was also learning the Python programming language, so I attempted most of the optional programming assignments in Python.

Great intro to a complex topic.It could be improved by having the programming assignments be:+ Mandatory+ More related to actual cryptographic algorithms/libraries (only some are) Nice Course for programmers The Course has been more about knowing about and implementing them and has been more helpfull in doing so.

Really well designed quizzes, homeworks, and programming assignments.

I enjoyed every part of it including the tests and programming assignments.

My only regret is that I was too busy to take time to do the optional programming assignments.

The problem sets and programming assignments are of reasonable difficulty.

I really like the fact to show the weakness to understand what are the requirements of a secure PRF, PRP & co!Optional programming assignments are really interesting unfortunately they take too much time to do and lack of guidance as it could be the case for the famous ML course.

Enlightening and interesting, looking forward to the further course.

Thank you and looking forward to Crypto II.

Looking forward to the part II.

I'm looking forward for Cryptography 2 Really great course, covers a lot of material while explaining it very easily Wonderfully paced and easy to follow Very good emphasis on fundamentals and mathematical foundations for cryptography.

Looking forward to Crypto 2!

Looking forwarding to Cryptography II class stating September.

Looking forward for cryptography 2 Todo me pareció muy bien Thank you very much for anyone that make this course very interactive and fun.

I am really looking forward to Crypto II, where will be described more things about certificate and new exchange protocols.

I am looking forward for the Crypto II.

Looking forward for Cryptography II.

Looking forward Cryptography II!

Looking forward to the second part.

Thank you, Professor Dan Boneh!

Great class which inspired me with enormous excitements When someone explains concepts and ideas in such an easy way, it means he/she understands fully what he talks about; this is the case of Professor Dan Boneh; I widely recommend this course for anyone interested in Cryptography topics.

Professor Dan Boneh explains it all in a very detailed and technical manner.

to professor Dan Boneh for the best possible explanation of the course's material and THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Este curso, ministrado pelo grande professor Dan Boneh, é maravilhoso, para dizer o mínimo.

Many thanks to Professor Dan Boneh.Although the lectures are quite short they contain a lot of useful information.

amazing course, i take it 6 years ago and forget everything, but again,learn crypto, like meet a familiar new friend, feel enjoyable with what professor Dan Boneh have taught me Pretty good, though needs more basic understanding.

This course provide a great source of knowledge, Professor Dan Boneh is really good in spreading knowledge.

Professor Dan Boneh, you explained concepts nicely.

Thank you Professor Dan Boneh!

Professor Dan Boneh presents complex cryptographic topics in a very understandable manner.

Dan explains crypto from the ground up making it easy to understand more advanced constructions as the weeks advance.

Lecturer was able to communicate and breakup difficult topics into simple easy to understand lessons progressively.

clearly and easy to understand I took the course in 2014, whether you are a beginner in cryptography or a regular practitioner, the course won't disappoint you.

Very good course, it's easy to understand the concepts and the programming assignments help to understand the details of the implementation of the algorithms.

The professor knows what he is talking about and he explains as easy to understand as possible.

Explanation and easy to understand Highly recommend this course for understanding the Basics of Crypto with the necessary Mathematical foundations The best possible Cryptography course in the world.

The topics were a bit difficult, but the teaching style made it easy to understand.

Easy to understand how crypto works.

Easy to learn etryyiuji really usefull course for every one and easy to understand it!!!!

I'm waiting Crypto II until a year and I hope it will be released soon...

I hope the Crypto II course will be up one day.

Looking forward to crypto II.

I'd say I spent 5-8 hours each week completing the lectures and assignments without attempting any of the optional programming assignments.

The quizzes are difficult and challenging,the optional programming assigments are also difficult and very interesting.

The in-lecture questions are well-chosen to force you to really think about the material under discussion and the quizzes, although sometimes challenging, are interesting and help teach material left out or only brushed over in the lectures.There are also optional programming problems, which were quite instructive.

I recommend doing the optional programming assignments, they're a lot of fun.

It was very nicely structured and presented, and the optional programming challenges were great.

If you haven't studied number theory, plan to spend some extra time getting up to speed.

Excellent One of the best introduction in Cryptography and Number Theory.

Presentation: some of the more theoretical lecture on number theory are quite daunting and some of the ideas for security metrics seem rather artificial but in general it is a well presented course.

The math at the end of the course, number theory, was quite new to me and therefore quite challenging.

That's a sign of high quality.Don't skip the practice quizzes - they are challenging, thought-provoking and help you understand the topic much better.Bear in mind that the course requires certain math background in discrete probability and number theory.

One of the most difficult part has been public-key cryptography mostly due for its base on number theory but now I have a good knowledge of RSA and Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol.

My only complain is the long-long wait for the second part of this course - Cryptography II.

cant wait to do the second part I learned a lot.

I will definitely take the second part of the course next year.

The only flaw in this course is that the Cryptography II is, I quote a certain MOOC fellow colleague, "Duke Nukem among the MOOCs", since we're all waiting for the second part, and it's being moved to another starting date every couple of months, so... give us Crypto II!

The second part is coming soon, expectations are over the roof!

Cours très complet et bien présenté Can't wait for Cryptography 2, excellent course, fantastic professor.

This course is one of the best course I have tried lately and I cannot wait for Cryptography 2.

This is an excellent and challenging course that covers the basics of symmetric key cryptography, authenticated encryption, and public key cryptography.

But when it came to public key security I felt so lost because of all that deep math.

I also strongly recommend investing some more time into number theory (at least first four chapters of Viktor Shoup's book) to feel good about the theory of public key cryptography.

I really enjoyed Dan's lectures; in my opiniont the course is more mathematical/theoretical and less real world examples.

You also learn about historical developments, real world applications and current challenges that would bring you instant fame in the crypto world.

The reward was a good understanding of the open cryptographic protocols that are used in most real world applications.

Nice learning experience.

It's been a great learning experience.

It rewards you with great learning experience.
