In search of a pedagogically simple example of asymmetric encryption routine?
(I am not a cryptography expert; I do write software)
I am working with some youth (ages 11-13) and wanted to explore for an hour or so some basic cryptography. Doing symmetric ciphers is pretty straightforward. It's easy to explain the various "two…

Structure for an introductory course on cryptography?
Many introductory courses on cryptography have their treatment of secret-key crypto start with OTP, then block ciphers, and for public-key cryptography revolve around RSA with no notion of padding (some even have matching exercises showcasing…

Which lattice-based encryption scheme/signatures is fundamental?
If I would like to focus on only one signature scheme, and only one encryption based on lattices in a pedagogical context (to introduce the concept of lattice-based crypto to people familiar with cryptography)?
Is it possible to consider only one…

Stream cipher example for an introductory cryptography course
I am looking for an easily defined stream cipher to illustrate two basic principles in an undergraduate cryptography course:
not every bit of the internal state should be used in the keystream;
some non-linear operations should be used to step…

Explaining Chaotic Cryptography
I will venture myself into studying chaotic cryptography. However, I find it hard to explain what chaotic cryptography entails to those that have some knowledge of cryptography. Neither can I explain it - at a more basic level - to those that don't…

RSA factorization challenge
I'm in a teacher-like position and would like my students to practice certain classes of RSA attacks. However I don't really know how to go about it and how to sensibly choose the parameters such that they have to practice the attack I had in mind…
