An interactive webpage built for RIT BrickHack 9 that teaches the fundamentals of cryptography. It walks through the core ideas — what cryptography is, why it matters, and the two halves of the process — in plain language.
What it covers
- Cryptography — securing information in transit so only the intended recipient can read it, by designing and solving codes.
- Encryption — converting plaintext into unintelligible ciphertext.
- Decryption — the reverse process, recovering readable text using a key.
