#2I checked the PDF and this looks very interesting and comprehensive, any change you could give an eta for the final release and more specific the epub release?
Thanks!

#3This is about to eat my weekend, I think! :)
Quite seriously, this is exactly what the tech world needs - personally, I know that in terms of understanding of crypto I'm streets ahead of the average Joe, but orders of magnitude behind people who actually know the field. I'm certain I'm far from alone in that set, but the way the world's going means that we with the generalised technical know-how have a moral impetus to bring the rest of the world up to speed with the whys and wherefores.

#4This is currently on edx. Its more advanced that the courses mentioned here. I do not know what edx will do after the course ends, but if you want it you can get it while it ss still available.

This is certainly not the first thing you want to learn in cryptography, for many reasons.

Agreed. The one time I actually want to sign up to a mailing list, and there's no way of doing it.

#9With everything in Crypto I have to wonder: Is the information correct? I really have no way of verifying if I'm learning the correct DHE, and I know that it's easy to get wrong. Perhaps I can do some testing in code, but I may test it incorrectly too, and those small errors can be exploited.

Well, one benefit of wide exposure (like here on HN) is that if it was wrong, somebody would be bound to come along and point it out.
FWIW, I consider myself pretty well-versed on cryptography and although I haven't gone over this book with a fine-toothed comb (yet!), it looks very, very accurate to me.
