Introduction to cryptography, from Egypt through Enigma - "When is an enigma not an enigma? When it is deciphered. Learn how to make your own paper enigma encoder, then peruse the source code that duplicates its action to understand its simple yet ingenious inner workings -- as well as the basics of good cryptography. Finally, accept the challenge to crack a simple transposition cipher, because all great encryption architects must first master the art of cryptanalysis." (128 visits)

The right coprocessor can help with encryption - "Encryption is a key aspect of security for any application or system. Furthermore, encryption is algorithmically complex, requiring significant resources for implementation, and most often, significant hardware acceleration. In this sixth and final installment to the Big iron lessons series, you'll get a review of the modern history of crypto and the encoding hardware and software techniques developed for mainframes that can show you the way forward."
