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.
This course and the style of lecturing was nice but if there are more problem oriented type class is there then it would be more interesting
Would have absorbed the course material more concretely if the instructor had slowed down on the pace at which concepts were being disseminated.
Interesting course on an Interesting topic taken in a pleasant, enjoyable, and simple manner.Never did I feel bored or out of my depth even though I am a stranger to the topic.
It is a good course. I got few information about hash attack which I didn't know before. Only thing which I wish to have more is a little more hands on and also detailed example about Vigenere cipher
Excellent lectures. Mostly very easy to follow, but some mathematical points were ran through a bit too quickly and thinly.
Everything was crystal clear but have to keep up with everything the professor says can't miss anything.
Previous course I have done on cryptography I liked much more, but it was also fine.
Very nice course! Learned a lot about cryptosystems and cryptography fundamentals.
The lectures were educational, and interesting without speaking down to you. I learned a lot without being overwhelmed
Thank you for taking the time to upload your videos. I hope you create a capstone course.
The course contents are designed properly which are very important as a part of security concerns and conceptual understanding.
I was expecting more of the mathematics behind Cryptography. Even though this course didn't provide that, it was good. A good introduction to the field of cryptography.

perfect and the tutor is absolutely amazing, got good information from the videos and different links provided by them... feeling good to spend my time over this course i think this specialization can give good knowledge in terms of Cryptography
Honestly did not expect to enjoy the class as well as I did. Such a wealth of information. Truly worth it.
This course was very interesting and enlightening. The concepts have been explained very well.
too pooring , not interactive , it will be better if it integrate solving problem with programming
An excellent introduction to the field of cryptography, from historical ciphers to ones commonly used today. Moving from weaker ciphers to stronger ones, and pointing out the weaknesses that led to the development of increasingly strong ciphers, lays out the motivation for continual cryptographic research very well.
This was a great introduction course to cryptography basics. It provided me with so much knowledge, from some history and how this field began, to different types of ciphers and hash functions, and even teaching me about modern uses of cryptography. I'm left with excitement and drive to learn more about it.
Interesting course on an Interesting topic taken in a pleasant, enjoyable, and simple manner.
Never did I feel bored or out of my depth even though I am a stranger to the topic.
Interesting course and a good overview about cryptography. The last week is a little bit too fast-paced if you are complete newbie.

Nice delivery of concepts. Interesting historical concepts was available which made it very engaging and educating.
I teach cryptosystems in my University. I found it very useful, more than a textbook content. Nice lectures.
Everything was crystal clear but have to keep up with everything the professor says can't miss anything.
very nice course, i was not having any tech background , but learned loads of good things.

The course and materials are really good. The concepts are explained very well
Excellent introduction to cryptography, cryptanalysis and hash functions.
