Popis: | Cryptography is the art and science of encoding and decoding messages. It plays an important role in business as a means to protect corporate secrets, in banking to secure accounts, in the military to protect information, and in personal security devices to protect individuals. (See Kahn [1967] for a review of cryptography.) In this activity we introduce cryptography into the high school classroom as a context for doing mathematics. |
