Spring 2012 (Apr. 21 - 22, 2012)
Learn how to make and break codes you can use with friends on SMS, email, or IM. See how it is used by spies to hide messages, by the military to win wars, by hackers to break into wireless networks, by web sites to protect their users, by banks to protect their money, by people to cheat at online poker, and by individuals to protect their privacy. It will be fun, not difficult, but I will give you all the information you need to advance as far as you want afterwards.

M1172: Code Making and Breaking: Math in Cyberspace in Splash! Fall 2010 (Nov. 13 - 14, 2010)
In this class we'll cover classical cryptography (encryption) and cryptanalysis (code-breaking), and show how this applies to security on the Internet. All of our examples are simple enough to be done on pencil and paper, so no special knowledge is required. We'll start simple and work our way up to a cipher that was used to protect the secrets of the atomic bomb.
