About

CryptICS was started as a demonstration tool for the KRYPTO lecture at HSLU by Josef Schuler.

The tool aims to allow demonstrating and interactively learning cryptographic principles and foundational mathematical elements of cryptography.

CryptICS is being built as a "Security Project" and WIPRO based on the idea of an experimental cryptography lab by Josef Schuler.

The name "CryptICS" is a late-night attempt of an amusing portmanteau of Cryptography, ICS (the degree the KRYPTO lecture is a part of), and the fact that cryptography remains a puzzle for many students.

Contributions & Contributing

CryptICS is primarily based on these resources:

  • KRYPTO lecture and script by Josef Schuler
  • "Kryptografie verständlich" by Christoph Paar (ISBN: 978-3-662-49296-3)

CryptICS is being developed by Dominik Schenker with support from Josef Schuler and Ron Porath.
