Picks from the course feedback of CS-E4340 Cryptography:
The lectures were great. Maybe even one of the best among all the course I've attended so far.
I have to put strong emphasis of how impressed I am with the dedication and commitment of Chris in this course, he truly went beyond the requirements and crushed my expectations on how teachers at a university can care about their students.
