They are easy to understand and provide a venue to use the cryoptographic terms that the students should learn to use.
Having to understand a complicated bit of cryptography while at the same time coming to terms with a big batch of nomenclature you haven't committed to memory is hard. Harder than I can handle anyway.
- tptacek 13y agoBesides "cipher" and, perhaps, "key", is there a lot of nomenclature/terminology to be found in the study of pre-Shannon cryptography?
- GhotiFish 13y ago... yes. don't ever become a teacher.
- tptacek 13y agoYour comment would be better without the sad little barb, and with an actual example of nomenclature learned more easily from classic ciphers than from modern ones. I suspect you didn't provide one because you don't have one. Prove me wrong. (I can think of two potential terms already.)
