Hi all,<div><br></div><div>Monday is a great night to meet! Be forewarned that the whole space is pretty full at that time on Monday. It may or may not be the level of noise you want so I think it is best to just give it a shot unless you know you want a quieter environment.</div><div><br></div><div>Trent<br><br><br><br>On Friday, May 27, 2016, Rob M <<a href="mailto:veryprofessionalguy@gmail.com">veryprofessionalguy@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div>I'm thinking we could (in some order):
<div><br>
</div>
<div> - go over the week's material in a summarized form</div>
<div> - talk about real-world crypto systems</div>
<div> - (if applicable) talk about practical applications of

dropped out. I would appreciate the accountability and

<div style="font-size:12.8px">I'm looking to
re-take Dan Boneh's <a href="https://www.coursera.org/learn/crypto" target="_blank">Introductory
Cryptography Course</a> and create a
class / study group for reviewing the
material in a slightly less technical
format and with practical examples for
real world cryptosystems.</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">Still deciding
on a weekly time and am curious to gauge
interest to figure out how big of a space
we'll need. This would be a two month
commitment for those involved, and would
teach you how to speak practically about
basic cryptography and understand simple
cryptosystems (e.g. Bitcoin, Tor, various
encrypted communication systems).</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
