Learner Reviews & Feedback for Cryptography I by Stanford University
About the Course
Top reviews
Provides a comprehensive introduction to cryptographic history, current technology, best practices and known attacker techniques. A great deal of material is covered in a relatively compact program.
Cutting edge cryptography topics. Good explanations and slides, but pause button is highly recommended. Can be a bit too mathematical for the general public, and not very formal for mathematicians.

•Excellent material. As usual with computer science courses, some of the material could be presented a bit more clearly. But I am really happy to finally understand this material now.
By Marcos E K
•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)
By Kris J
•Interesting and learned a lot, but probably need a greater foundation in hex and mod math than I had. I suspect there are prerequisites re in the formal program.
By Tristan B
•Good overall course, it could use an update on some minor points. Theory is a strong part of the course. I hope the Crypto II course will be up one day.
By Ameer T
•Best cryptography course ever!! Detailed and clear explanation, fun, nice quizzes. But it would be better if the pace was a little bit slower.
By Mohammed R U
•Excellent Course to understand the Crypto Construction, Possible Attacks, Semantic Security and pplications of crypto in real world scenarios
By Bruno V
•Great course. Not easy to sustain the rhythm, I prefer "at your own pace" kind of course, where you have time to dig into the subject.
By Shrihari S
•The contents are presented in a super good way, this is the best way for anyone to learn basic and essential concepts on cryptography.
By Thierry L
•Very good course with a level accessible without the need to be a mathematical guru. Maybe some videos are a little beat too long.
By Nicholas J
•Above all, the clarity, quality and engaging nature of Professors Boneh's videos made this a great learning experience. Thanks.
By Quentin D
•Very interesting but sometimes too detailed. Courses often needs good knowledge in mathematics althought there are some reviews.
By Zhe Z
•A bit hard to follow some of the math stuff if you don't have a background it in, but pretty informative course overall
By Unai E
•Course is very interesting but, in my opinion, it is a bit theoretical. I would like the course were more practical.
By Simone B
•Fantastic course that gives the basic notions of cryptography. Both practical a theoretical tests are very useful.
By cyril m
•Great course, but a bit disappointed by the fact that I'll have to do it all over again to get a certificate.
By Nitin
•The Course has been more about knowing about and implementing them and has been more helpfull in doing so.
By Shashank V
•Exceptional Course .. Especially he lectures were clearly explained. But the exercises were a bit tough.
By Roland d B
•Very thorough, lot's of math. A bit too academic for my taste, it's not really useful in practice.
By Nathan M
•Pretty good, though needs more basic understanding. Quite a bit of prereq's for this course!
By Alessandro D C
•(+) Really good training also for beginners.
(-) Sometimes the teacher talks very quickly.
By Deleted A
•given videos is not helping to do the given problems in the quiz (not all, some problems)
By Ratnabh k r
•this course has really helped me to build the basic knowledge in the field of security.
By Adeen A
•Really enjoyed taking this course. Hoping to learn more, Inshaa Allah(God willing).
By Enrique P
•Excellent course!
I have learned Cryptography, Python and Number Theory
By Antariksha M
•Great , Enjoyed the complete session ,waiting for the next session :)
