Students deal with cryptography and security every day, e.g. by picking passwords for online accounts. We all know about basic cryptography from inventing secret languages with our friends. But how does cryptography actually work? How did Caesar get secret messages to his army? How can you send messages safely over the internet?
In this talk we want to share an outline on a new openSAP MOOC that's currently under development. Discover the history of cryptography in 15 Snap! projects, starting from ancient ciphers to renaissance occultists and modern day algorithms.
