Can anyone recommend any good content to learn cryptography? Like, even if I read the algorithm for AES I have zero understanding about why it works this way
I've finished the Cryptography I on Coursera already. Can't recommend it enough
I've been through Introduction to Modern Cryptography by Katz and Lindell.
Can recommend, as it starts with Caesars cipher, one time pads, and builds towards modern cryptography.
"Cryptography Made Simple" By Nigel Smart and "A Graduate Course in
Applied Cryptography" by Dan Boneh and Victor Shoup are excellent resources for people that have affinity with Math and CS. The second resource can be a tough read, and I would strongly recommend not skipping the first few chapters.
A large part of this book is aimed at the readers who want to know why
we designed Rijndael in the way we did. For them, we explain the ideas and
principles underlying the design of Rijndael, culminating in our wide trail
design strategy.
