Course description

Cryptography is the science of secret writing to hide the meaning of a message. Cryptanalysis is the science and sometimes art of breaking cryptosystems. It appears to be closely linked to modern electronic communication. Nonetheless, early cryptography examples date back to about 2000 B.C, when non-standard “secret” hieroglyphics were used in ancient Egypt. This course will teach you about cryptography and weak cryptographic algorithms that should be avoided while developing software.
