Abstract

We describe our experience in creating and teaching a graduate course in cryptography at the Johns Hopkins University. We emphasize on the importance of such a course for a graduate student in an information security program. We discuss the course implementation and discuss the challenges in teaching this course to students from varied backgrounds. Based on our observations, we suggest specific improvements that could be applied to this course in the future.
