We use browsing data and tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience and analyze educational content performance. This helps us customize course materials and improve our platform's functionality for better student outcomes.
Beyond Traditional Lectures
We believe cryptography education should mirror real-world blockchain development. Students learn by building, breaking, and rebuilding systems—just like they'll do in their careers.
Our Core Teaching Methods
Each approach targets different learning styles while maintaining the hands-on focus that makes our graduates immediately valuable to Taiwan's growing blockchain sector.
Attack-Defense Scenarios
Students first learn to exploit common cryptographic weaknesses, then design defenses. This dual perspective creates security professionals who think like both builders and attackers.
Live Protocol Analysis
We dissect actual blockchain protocols during class—examining Ethereum's recent upgrades, analyzing Bitcoin's lightning network, and reviewing smart contract vulnerabilities from real incidents.
Project-Based Learning
Every concept connects to a practical project. Students build their own consensus mechanisms, create custom hash functions, and implement zero-knowledge proofs from scratch.
Peer Code Review
Students review each other's cryptographic implementations weekly. This mirrors industry practices and helps identify security flaws before they become habits.

The attack-defense method changed how I think about security. Instead of just memorizing algorithms, I understand why each design choice matters. When I joined my current team, I could spot potential vulnerabilities that senior developers missed.

How Learning Actually Happens
Our curriculum builds complexity gradually. Students master fundamental concepts through repetition and application before moving to advanced topics. No one gets left behind, and no one gets bored.
-
1
Foundation Phase
Hash functions and digital signatures through practical exercises. Students implement basic algorithms before learning why they work.
-
2
Application Phase
Building simple blockchains and consensus mechanisms. Theory emerges naturally from hands-on experimentation.
-
3
Advanced Topics
Zero-knowledge proofs, privacy coins, and cutting-edge research. Students contribute to open-source projects.
-
4
Specialization
Focus areas in DeFi security, privacy technology, or scalability solutions based on industry demand and student interests.
Lead Instructor
Meet Petra Kowalski
Petra spent eight years developing cryptographic protocols for financial institutions before joining our team. She's contributed to three major blockchain projects and believes the best way to learn cryptography is by breaking things first.
Her teaching philosophy? "If you can't explain a concept to someone who's trying to attack it, you don't really understand it yourself." This approach has helped over 200 students transition into blockchain careers since 2022.
Ready to Learn Cryptography the Right Way?
Our next cohort begins in September 2025. We're looking for curious people who want to understand how blockchain security really works—no prior experience required.
