Description: Lecture notes, assignments, midterms, and exams from a course tackling the problem of cryptanalysis, deciphering encoded text, using some rather tried and true mathematical techniques; and considering some of the modern techniques now employed to maintain security and authenticate documents. Assisting students was a suite of programs, collectively referred to as Krypto. Assignments and tests includ ciphers; lecture notes include direct standard alphabet (DSA), polyalphabets, Vigenere ciphers, the Hill Cipher, public key systems, RSA construction, Knapsack problem, the Rosetta Stone, and the Enigma Machine; and helpful tables and graphs include characteristic frequency distribution of letters in the English text, and most common digraphs and trigraphs.
