Why take this course?
This course is intended to provide an overview of cryptography. We will take a tour through history, looking at the earliest ciphers, through the secret-key methods that took over, through to current methods such as public-key methods, and also look at the future possibilities as the next step. The course consists of a series of short lectures on slides - many have supplementary notes and questions to attempt, with fully-worked solutions provided. The course is intended to be informative but also enjoyable - my aim is that you learn something about cryptography, but also enjoy it and are motivated to find out more!

The information contained is sufficient for a beginner.
The production is sub-standard based on my Udemy experience.

I didn't know much about cryptography before taking this course, but I really enjoyed learning both about the history and how it works today. The slides are clear and well-explained and the supplementary material (notes and questions/answers) are really helpful. Highly recommended!
