Yes, I figured it out. Thanks.

There are four lectures in the series. You can find them all linked off my home page with the exercise sets and recommended reading under "Crypto Course". (I don't think YouTube comments will let me post a link.)

He mentions "last week" all the time, is there a lecture prior to this one?

The Handbook for Applied Cryptography is a comprehensive resource and is available for free online. I wouldn't recommend it for a general audience, but for someone more technically inclined HAC is a great book to read.

Sorry to disagree with Stephen, but I think that "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" is a much better book for beginners as it includes every aspect a beginner should know about cryptography from the ground up and (I think) it is much easier to read. At the end of the day, it might be something more of a personal taste, and whatever book someone think it is best, someone else might disagree :-)

I'll take a look at it, thanks a lot.

I think Simon Singh's "Code Book" is a good place to start for beginners. It's well written, covers interesting historical aspects, and contains some basic technical details.

What do you recommend for beginners, stephen?

I have posted the course materials on my personal web site. Apparently, I can't post a link in the comments, but you can find it easily enough by searching for my name.
