- Very interesting talk by Nadim Kobeissi on teaching Cryptography in Post-Crisis Lebanon.
- The course syllabus, assignments, and projects are awesome.
- For students with zero crypto experience.
- Based on Joy of Cryptography (Mike Rosulek) and Serious Cryptography (Jean-Philippe Aumasson).
- “Earning Attention, Not Assuming It”
- enfranchise students and earn their attention
- “Break the intimidation barrier”
- hard math behind cryptography is “intimidation”
- “intimidation” stemming from “notation”
- “notations” (mathematical formalisms) are scarier than the “ideas” they contain
- “ideas” are intuitive and easy to explain
