Welcome to Course 2 of Introduction to Applied Cryptography. In this course, you will be introduced to basic mathematical principles and functions that form the foundation for cryptographic and cryptanalysis methods. These principles and functions will be helpful in understanding symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic methods examined in Course 3 and Course 4. These topics should prove especially useful to you if you are new to cybersecurity. It is recommended that you have a basic knowledge of computer science and basic math skills such as algebra and probability.

TOP REVIEWS FROM MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR CRYPTOGRAPHY
Good course, but would like some more exercises to implement the mathematics learnt.
This course provided me a better insight into the mathematical foundations of crytpography.
I enrolled for this course because Number Theory is my area of interest. This course has helped me to spend my time effectively during this lockdown period. Thank you Coursera.
Very interesant course. A very practical approach to modular arithmetics.
