In today's world, cryptography plays a crucial role in people's daily lives.
Much of the mathematics behind modern day cryptography comes from number theory.
The
Cryptography Treasure Hunt - an introduction to number theory based cryptography
is a series of
hands-on events in which participants decrypt a series of encrypted clues that ultimately lead to a prize.
By taking part in an edition of the
Cryptography Treasure Hunt - an introduction to number theory based cryptography,
contestants learn about encryption methods, from classical ciphers to modern cryptosystems,
and the mathematics behind them.
