The Importance of the Using Software Tools for Learning Modern Cryptography* SASA ADAMOVIC, MARKO SARAC, DUSAN STAMENKOVIC and DALIBOR RADOVANOVIC Department of Computer Science, Singidunum University, Belgrade, Serbia. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Because of the wide application of cryptographic mechanisms in private and business environments, a cryptography course at many universities has the great importance today. An undergraduate cryptography course is mathematically demanding, and it is quite difficult for students with poor background to follow the course syllabus. This paper presents the use of interactive software in demonstrating basic cryptology principles in modern cryptography. The teaching methodology applied fosters students experimental work and engages students in discussions to resolve problems. The data are taken in three consecutive school years (around 150 participants), when we used to apply ordinary teaching practices, and when we switched to the interactive teaching approach. The assessment method was the attendance of students in the classroom, which has increased signi®cantly during the semester. At the grade level of the student we noticed better grade distribution, with higher average grade. Keywords: cryptography; educational software; interactive teaching 1.

O. Box 18758 Sebha, Libya, Libyan. 2 Sebha University of Libya, Sebha, Libya. * Corresponding author. Tel.: 00218-925132935; email: [email protected] Manuscript submitted February 13, 2015; accepted July 5, 2015. doi: 10.17706/jcp.10.5.336-346 Abstract: Visual form description benefits from the ability of visualization to provide precise and clear description of object behavior especially if the visual form is extracted from the real world. It provides clear definition of object and the behavior of that object. Although the current descriptions of cryptographic protocol components and operations use a different visual representation, the cryptographic protocols behaviors are not actually reflected. This characteristic is required and included within our proposed visual model. The model uses visual form and scenario-based approach for describing cryptographic protocol behavior and thus increasing the ability to describe more complicated protocol in a simple and easy way. Key words: Animation, cryptographic protocols, interactive tool, visualization. 1. Introduction Cryptographic protocols (CPs) mostly combine both theory and practice [1], [2]. These cause protocol complexity describing and understanding. Therefore, separating the mathematical part from the protocol behavior should provide feeling of how the protocol works, thus increasing the ability to describe and to gain confidence in reflecting more complicated information about CPs, as well as to generate interest to know about other more complex protocol concepts. Several researchers realized the use of visual model and animation techniques to reflect the explanation of the learning objectives and their benefits [3]-[11].

We would like to express our gratitude to our project collaborators and members of the Advisory Board – Prof Bert-Jaap Koops (Tilburg University), Prof Lyria Bennett Moses (UNSW Sydney), Prof Alana Maurushat (Western Sydney University), and Associate Professor Alex Sims (University of Auckland) – for their support as well as feedback on specific parts of this report. We would also like to thank Patricia Gonzalez, Joseph Graddy, Philip McHugh, Anthony Meehan, Jean Murray and Peter Upson for their valuable research assistance and other contributions to this study. Michael Dizon, Ryan Ko and Wayne Rumbles Principal investigators December 2019 Executive summary Cybersecurity is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of the general public, businesses, government, and the country as a whole. New Zealand has a reasonably comprehensive and well-grounded legal regime and strategy for dealing with cybersecurity matters. However, there is one area that deserves further attention and discussion – encryption. Encryption is at the heart of and underpins many of the technologies and technical processes used for computer and network security, but current laws and policies do not expressly cover this significant technology. The principal objective of this study is to identify the principles and values of encryption in New Zealand with a view to informing future developments of encryption- related laws and policies.

Considering the value it had in the past, has continued to the present and will continue to have, perhaps to an even greater extent in the future concealing information during transmission or transport, leads automatically to attempt to discover the importance and the value of the means, methods and techniques used to implement the concealment. Cryptography is a branch of computer science attracts the attention with its great utility that has nowadays. Given therefore deemed necessary to standardize, analyze and present the encryption algorithms to learning and training on the operation with as efficiently and easily as possible. Having in mind that the theory must be accompanied by practice and examples that help to consolidate the syllabi material, we felt that the analytical presentation of an educational tool on learning algorithms of cryptography is a way of learning while embedding. The learning tool cryptool 2 is an implementation of all the above, and through this we will try to show, those essential functions, which help the user with visual and practical way, to see in detail all the properties and functional details of the algorithms contained, will present representative examples of functioning algorithms, we proceed to create digital signatures and will implement the cryptanalysis algorithms. The above is an object of study and teaching in the professional area of land, in the field of communications and transmissions-service systems. Knowing, however, that historically since the antiquity, first we Greeks, we use encryption in a simple form, for military purposes, but later down through the years and fighting wars around the world, the art encryption and decryption evolved and became object of all armies and weapons.
