Abstract: | |
This project deals with development of a Java based application for the Mathematics and Computer Science departments at San Diego State University to aid the undergraduate students in better understanding Cryptographic Algorithms. The project provides a step by step animated user interface presentation of how various cryptographic algorithms work. The user interface is designed to give a hands-on experience for students to try out the algorithms by providing various inputs and showing how the plain text is converted into ciphered text with a nice visual interpretation. The main motive behind using Java for creating the application is the ease in developing user interfaces with the large library that the Java programming language provides.
