Popis:	At the suggestion of a colleague, I read The Code Book, [32], by Simon Singh to get a basic introduction to the RSA encryption scheme. Inspired by Singh's book, I designed a Ball State University Honors Colloquium in Mathematics for both majors and non-majors, with material coming from The Code Book and many other sources. This course became so popular that we had to open up more than one section, due to the large number of requests! This article looks at the challenges of designing a cryptography course “from scratch,” outlines the topics chosen, and gives examples of homework and discussion questions used.
