Course of Cryptography using Open Source software.
Abstract. Cryptography and computer security areas are very important not only for students and Computer Science specialists, but also for all Internet users, who should have the basic knowledge of cryptography and security principles. Indeed, the teaching of cryptographic algorithms is not imaginable without using computers. Thus, we cannot bypass the question of suitable programming tools for the above mentioned goal. The motivation of students is very important, so we need simple development environment, in which the principles and quirks of cryptography can be shown by funny, interesting ways. In the same time, the tools should be such that more capable students can experiment with in-depth study of algorithms. Open Source software is the right choice, because we can choose from many implementations of functional cryptographic algorithms and on the other side, we can see the source, where the details of implementation are available for study and inspiration.
