Designing your own secure encryption cipher

Design a cipher, write an implementation in C and perform cryptanalysis to make it secure. All in one course.

What you’ll learn
✓ Learn to design your own cipher, and to implement it in the C language
✓ Learn to create S-boxes and how to make them secure
✓ Learn to perform differential cryptanalysis and secure your cipher from the most powerful analytical attacks
✓ Learn to calculate the branch number and to make it as high as possible

Requirements
● You need an intermediate understanding of the C language and a junior high school maths knowledge

Description
Design your own secure encryption cipher
Ever dreamed of designing your own cipher? Free from all backdoors and NSA-crafted vulnerabilities. In this course we’ll design our own, secure, 256 bit stream cipher with a 128 bit security level. We’ll also write an implementation together, in C, and then perform differential cryptanalysis in order to verify that it is secure against the most powerful analytical attacks.

Prerequisites
To follow along in this project you need an intermediate level understanding of the C language. And a junior high school maths knowledge is more than enough for this course.

-Why learn C from dr Jonas Birch and not from the other ten Udemy instructors?

Experience in the C language. When dr Birch was 18 years old and had been coding C for five years, he was traveling all over Europe, invited to different coding and security conferences, giving lectures about C and security. Since then he has coded C almost every day – for an additional 20 years!

Experience in teaching. Dr Birch has been teaching the C language (live) almost full time the last six years, helping hundreds and hundreds of students learn the mother of all languages – in Linux.

Very soothening voice and amazing sound quality. Dr Birch has a very dark, relaxing voice which is very easy to listen to (a really underestimated feature). He is recording in a professional recording studio with enterprise level microphone and equipment, which makes for a very good listening experience.
