Stanford Online Cryptography Course

Thought this might be interesting to general security types:

Stanford Cryptography I - Online Class

The Grinch posted about a similar class back in 2011. This one is set to start up on the 6th. 5-7 hours per week estimated workload at 6 weeks. If you complete the quizes and problem sets (above 70%) you'll get a signed certificate of completion (perfect for CPE's I would assume).

There are programming skills presumed, but from what I've read the programming should be either minimal or optional.

Hope it helps.

I have enrolled in it. I work in the electronics payments industry and would like to increase my knowledge of crypto. as it's a bit touch/go at the moment........

Sounds interesting. It looks as though the website Stanford is linking to is currently down.

Also, to anyone interested in this type of thing, there is a program run by MIT, Stanford, Harvard, etc called EDX that offer free courses in Computer Science with a certificate of completion that could possibly be used on a resume.

You can also take the Stanford course for free on Coursera - that's where I dabbled in it. The video lectures are simple to understand and material is interesting. I would definitely recommend this course.

@paul78, it's the same one.

I started but could never finish the course. I think if I gave it the ol' college try I could, but it's been so long that I've forced my brain to work in statistical maths like discrete probability that I'm still on the fence about giving it another go-round.
