Having taken that very Applied Cryptography course twice, I assure you it is not easy. One of the most difficult in the program actually.

- tptacek 8y ago"Easy" isn't the word I'd use. Dated and not especially useful, maybe. What practical work did they have you do? I'm only going from the course slides.
- auiya 8y agoPractical depends on how you end up using the knowledge right? For people into protocol development/exploitation it was a valuable course which taught many fundamentals of discovering cryptographic operational methods, flaws, procedures, and how to design or fix. The reason you always hear people say "never roll your own crypto" is because this is a difficult subject matter, but is necessary if you're trying to build a properly secure cryptographic schema.
