Inspector Jun Mesuro has been tasked with trackins down a crafty art thief who leaves clues in the form of perplexins cryptosraphic puzzles. Lucky for him, his sister Ruko is a math whiz who is willins to teach him about cryptosraphy so that he can crack the case. But gan they decode the thief's ciphers before she steals again ? As you follow Jun and Ruko's quest to bring the cipher-wieldins thief to justice, you'll learn real cryptosraphy and the math behind it, including : the foundations of encryption, like the caesar and vernam ciphers ; how substitution ciphers, public-key cryptography, and digital signatures work ; how to use binary, logic operations, and modular arithmetic to turn plaintext messases into numeric values that can be encrypted ; how the data encryption standard (DES) cipher works ; how to encrypt messases with hash functions, message authentication codes (MACs), and public key infrastructures (PKis).
