Project description
Nowadays, it protects each and every one of us, every day, without us even noticing: encryption. Across all our digital communications, it ensures that no unauthorised person can view our messages, phone calls, images and other data. But how does it all work? Using a very simple (and very insecure) encryption method as an example, you can gain an interactive understanding of the concepts behind encryption.
