Cryptography I course by Stanford

Online learning has gained much popularity these days. One of these courses is Cryptography I taken by Prof. Dan Boneh of Stanford University through Coursera Inc. I highly recommend this course for those who want to start learning this subject. Even if I have studied few topics of the subject back in college and done some self-study in it, I found the course to be somewhat different. The way of teaching is too good. The course material is a balance of both theoretical and practical aspects and it also highlights some of the open problems in cryptography. The learners need to watch few videos each week and need to answer questions at the end, which they get points for. There is a final test at the end of the course. After successfully taking the test, a certificate of accomplishment is generated within two to three days for the participant. I am waiting for its advanced course: Cryptography II. Readers are suggested to go through the references mentioned below for these courses.
