The Design and use of Interactive Visualization Applets for Teaching Ciphers

Dino Schweitzer and Leemon Baird

The 7th IEEE Information Assurance Workshop (IAWorkshop 2006)
West Point, New York, USA, June 21-23, 2006

Abstract

Cryptography is a fundamental topic in an information assurance curriculum. Students should understand the basic concepts and weaknesses of both historical and current cipher algorithms. Visualization tools can help students understand these concepts, both in the classroom and as out-of-class exercises. This paper describes a set of such tools designed for a Cryptography Course at our institution. The design goals, implementation details, and classroom experiences are addressed.
