What you will learn

Advanced Cryptography Concepts, PKI, Basic Cryptography, Encryption Systems, Symmetric and Asymmetric

Description

Advanced Advance Cryptography Concepts, deep dive explanation into to the advantages, disadvantages, use case, constraints, limitations of symmetric, asymmetric, Hashing, algorithms, Public Key Infrastructure, Certificate Authority, Secure Channels, TLS, and standards. Course covers through explains of Applications of Cryptography, Private and public key pairs, and Binary math, the good bad and ugly for all symmetric and asymmetric algorithms with practical use cases for how algorithms are uses today and how their weakness are discovered and broke, such as with WEP and DES. Cryptographic Secure Channels and cybersecurity defense counter measures, Cryptanalysis attacks, Cryptography standards, to include VPS, IPSEC, AH, ESP, and major attacks against crypto systems.

This Course covers all major systemic and asymmetric algorithms and the entire encryption system with the application of the CIA triad to cryptography to include a discussion on how Blockchain works as a security solution. Course resources included with all videos.

This course was excellent, I plan to follow a path within cybersecurity and this was a perfect match.

Felt like the course was a preparation for a certification exam, rather than an explanation of how things work. For the listener, it would be easier to learn the concepts based the underlying design or mathematics - rather than just memorizing acronyms. Presentation could be improved. Mediocre graphics - including typos. Dr. Hodges's narration was sprinkled with too many "OK" s.

excellent course to prepare for the ECES with EC- Councile certification, one of the best certification prep courses, break down of cryptography concepts, well explained and easy to understand, great supplementary for a college course

Dr. Hodges completely knocked this one out of the park. I have always strugled at cryptography concepts due to limited exposure outside of book knowledge. This course took me full circle. All of the gaps I had and questions that went unanswered have been filled. Not only was it extremely informative but was able to put the concepts into a understanding for a real world function. This was not your run of the mil course where there was a highlevel overview you get down to the functionality specific use case. It also walks you through the standards & compliance, which you would traditionally not get exposed to. This is a course I would reccomend to anyone that is either entering into the information technology field or has been around studying this material for 20 years. Excellent job Dr. Hodges

Engaging video, expertly delivered content, highly informative and valuable. I have a better understanding now of Cryptography concepts.

Dr Hodges covers a lot of cryptographic material with an excellent knowledge. I learned a lot of stuff. But as it is rich with informations, it is sometimes hard to keep on. I think a bit more graphical content would have helped

The instructor clearly knows what he is talking about. However, the way he teaches could be improved a lot. The classes lack a clear structure. He sits in front of the camera and starts speaking. More editing and structure could come handy on next courses.

Lots of typos on the slides. Lots of filler words and repetition in the presenter's speech ("Okay?" "Are you there are you there are you there...").

The content is great but the mouth sounds have drifted me off many times (I took the course with headphones). He has started every part talking about his accomplishments; Once is enough I believe. Also the first courses were like he was not motivated at all but on the 5 6 and 7th courses, you can see that he is motivated. Still, I learned new things. Thank you.

He doesn’t seem to have prepared his words very well. He seems to be searching for what to say next. He seems to be chewing on a jolly rancher or something. He says “um” a ton, which is very distracting. (Note that I’m only about 25 minutes into the course.) Not sure why there was so much background on the guy. I read the bio provided before the course started so I didn’t need all of that verbally.

says advanced but really an overview, not much substance, this is less than the intro to cryptography by Christof Paar

It provided great insight into the symmetric cryptography methods and basic structure without getting into the mathematical detail of each.

The course provided a clear understanding of the multiple components of cryptology. I appreciate Dr Hodges sharing his approach to acquiring additional knowledge in the field that may assist in acquiring industry standard certifications.

Awesome course. Instructor is super knowledgable, and the information was easily digestible. This course was super helpful in cementing my knowledge in PKI, especially...really helped in exam prep. My ONLY "complaint" is Session 6...please just take the video, and overlay the slide deck on it...it was difficult to read in presenter mode, and it would be an easy fix. :). Overall, I was just super pleased with this course and the instructor's knowledge and presentation of the material.

Low quality and low effort. Instructor does not respect audiences time (strangely long, repeated introduction in nearly every short lecture). Slides are hard to look at and presentation is poor. I used to study for Introduction to Cryptology and had to use additional resources to this for prep.
