Computer Projects Designed to Enhance Student’s Learning Experience with Public-Key CryptographyAbstractCryptography plays a fundamental role in safeguarding today’s information infrastructure.Public-key cryptography is a cryptographic approach utilized by many cryptographic algorithmsand cryptosystems. In contrast to symmetric key systems, it eliminates the need to share a keysecretly. This distinguishing characteristic makes it a widely and successfully used technologyaround the world. It is the foundation for public-key infrastructure (PKI) and Internet standardssuch as Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Pretty Good Privacy (PGP).
