I'm sure some here will be interested in this:

(Yeah, the professor's name and picture are goofy.)

he kinda looks like adam sandler

I signed up.

edit: I also signed up for the Computer Security class.

Interesting stuff. I'm not sure I'll have time to do this, but I might.

If you want to get a good head start on cryptography, I highly recommend this book:

The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography, by Simon Singh

It's a fascinating read even if you're not into crypto. The book itself light on mathematics, but the appendices contain things like the actual mathematical mechanics of the RSA algorithm, etc. for those so inclined.

Edit:

And for a much deeper and technical study:

Handbook of Applied Cryptography, Menezes, Oorschot, Vanstone

Freely downloadable for personal use.

Good deal, I'm glad you guys are interested.
