Cryptography has existed for thousands of years and currently is a fascinating topic to study because of the close ties it forges between theory and practice. It makes use of bitwise computations, advanced algebra, string operations and everything in between. The Wolfram Language, with functions that provide basic building blocks for modern cryptography, makes a great tool for hands-on understanding of various concepts. In this Study Group, you will follow video lessons from the new Wolfram U course Introduction to Cryptography and learn about the concepts, underlying math and connections to real-world scenarios.

A Wolfram certified instructor guides each session by sharing short lessons, polling the group to review key concepts, introducing practice problems and answering questions. A certificate of program completion will be awarded to participants who attend online sessions and pass quizzes.

Study Group sessions run daily, Monday through Friday. This Study Group begins Monday, January 31, 2022.
