Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Cryptography is an essential component of Information and Communication Security. Applications and systems rely on Cryptography to ensure data secrecy and entity authentication. Recently, Cryptography has become a fundamental instrument of democracy (e-voting) and decentralization (blockchain technologies). Join this course to discover step-by-step how Cryptography works. 

You will learn the principles of modern-day Cryptography and the widely used Symmetric-key and Public-key algorithms such as AES, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and Elliptic Curves Cryptography (ECC). Not only will you learn how to use these systems and their underlying mathematical concepts, but we will also guide you step-by-step to implement them using Python-based software.  

By the end of this course, you will have mastered cryptography.

Instructor

Hamza Jeljeli

Hamza is a Cryptography specialist. He holds a Ph.D. in Cryptography from the University of Lorraine in France. He had his first research experience in Academia during which he worked on attacking cryptographic systems. Together with his colleagues, they achieved records of computation of discrete logarithms which prepared for the Logjam attack against the TLS protocol. Later he has worked for three large Tech companies in their Research & Development Centers. He has participated in the design, evaluation, and deployment of several Cryptographic and Privacy-Preserving Technologies such as White-box Cryptography, Federated Learning, and Zero-Knowledge Proofs. Hamza is passionate about Cryptography. He sees this discipline as the core of Communication and Information Security with strong connections with other disciplines like Mathematics, Computer Sciences, and Data Sciences. He genuinely enjoys discussing the rich algorithms and elegant ideas that lead to building or breaking cryptographic systems.
