Teaching Cryptography

Dariia Porechna

Cryptography is fascinating because of the close ties it forges between theory and practice. It makes use of bitwise computations, advanced algebra, string operations and everything in between. Explaining cryptography requires not only showing the math behind it, but also tying it to real-world scenarios. This talk will share an experience of writing about cryptography and how the Wolfram Language allows one to deliver unique hands-on educational material on the matter.
