Welcome to Cryptography and Information Theory! This course combines cryptography (the techniques for protecting information from unauthorized access) and information theory (the study of information coding and transfer). More specifically, the course studies cryptography from the information-theoretical perspectives and discuss the concepts such as entropy and the attacker knowledge capabilities, e.g., Kerckhoff's Principle. It also contrasts information-theoretic security and computational security to highlight the different train of thoughts that drive the cryptographic algorithmic construction and the security analyses. This course is a part of the Applied Cryptography specialization.

Greatly explained for beginners in cryptography. Although it requires some basics in maths and algorithms, it is still a great introduction to the field.
JL
Course was really nice and informative. It helps a lot in cryptographic domain related work. Thanks a lot to the instructor....
GP
A very neat and easy to follow course that introduces the basic concepts of cryptography and its use in modern world!
AJ
Good course...provides the fundamental idea behind the relationship between cryptography and information theory...
SC
Great Intro to Cryptology core concepts! Professor is also super clear in his explanations. Recommended :)
ES
This course requires more information on the topics. Due to less explanation and information on topics it becomes a bit difficult to solve questions. But all in all the course is good

Thank You.
Really nice, even if you are a beginner with Cryptographic Theories/ Information Theories. A fast course and also a very informative one! Would recommend if you have a background in Math and Algorithms.
Great introduction to cryptography. Professor was clear and concise in his explanations and the work required was reasonable. Overall a good experience, looking forward to the next class.
By learning this course i have gained some extra knowledge in cryptography. This course helped me to complete my final year project.

The course is brilliant! Mr Chang explains everything clearly, so that you can understand the material even if you don't have much time to deal with it.
The course gave me very good basics in Cryptography. Especially, the attacker perspective, which is the most important aspect of Cryptography.
It is a good course to beging with cyrptography. Quizzes and Assignments are also well designed to understand the concepts.

A great course for beginners. It is evident, that the Instructor has put much effort in designing this course.
The course mainly covers criteria for security. I need more of cryptography in it. Its not completely useful.
Great Intro to Cryptology core concepts! Professor is also super clear in his explanations.

This is fabulous course that i found, great assignment and questions make this course course worth full.
