Cryptography Foundations — How Encryption Works
A gentle, jargon-free beginner's course on how cryptography actually works. Follow a secret message from Alice to Bob — past Eve, the eavesdropper — and build up encryption, keys, public keys, hashing, signatures, and trust one everyday analogy at a time, until the padlock in your browser makes complete sense. Four gentle activities in every lesson.
