Also I can highly recommend Introduction to Cryptography course by Christof Paar - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1usFRN4LCMcfIV7UjHNuQg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1usFRN4LCMcfIV7UjHNuQg (and the text book https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-04101-3 https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-04101-3 but you may not need it)
About 2-3 years ago, I've watched all the lectures and then a couple of months ago I've watched them again to remember the details. It's joy watching Christof giving cryptography lectures.
- lordofgibbons 5y agoWould you say this intro course is a prerequisite to taking the applied course linked by OP?
- suddensleep 5y agoI've worked through the entire Paar book (which is excellent), and I've made a number of attempts at getting through Boneh and Shoup (which is also excellent). I will say that there is a good overlap in content, but the Boneh/Shoup is solidly graduate-level, whereas Paar is a good and solid introduction for an undergraduate student.
- atilimcetin 5y agoAfter looking into the TOC of A Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography, I would say the contents of these two are pretty similar to each other.
- Ar-Curunir 5y agoNo, the textbook is much more focused on rigorous security definitions and proving security of primitives against these definitions.
