Since spring 2009, the CrypTool project has also been operating the webseite CrypTool-Online. The portal is currently only available in German, but is intended to act as a platform for teachers to share teaching materials and related links concerning cryptology. Since spring 2008, the CrypTool project has been operating the Crypto Portal for Teachers. Over 50 volunteer developers worldwide have contributed to the program. Originally designed as an internal business application for information security training, CrypTool has since developed into an important open-source project in the field of cryptology. Accompanying script with additional information about cryptology.Related auxiliary methods (primality tests, factorization, base64 encoding, etc.).Cryptanalytical measurement methods (entropy, n-grams, autocorrelation, etc.).Cryptanalysis of several algorithms (Vigenère, RSA, AES, etc.).Visualization of several algorithms (Caesar, Enigma, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, digital signatures, AES, etc.).Numerous classic and modern cryptographic algorithms (encryption and decryption, key generation, secure passwords, authentication, secure protocols, etc.).The current version offers the following highlights: It supports both contemporary teaching methods at schools and universities as well as awareness training for employees and civil servants. JCrypTool is platform independent (Windows, Linux, Mac) and makes use of the FlexiProvider (a powerful toolkit developed by the TU Darmstadt) and Bounc圜astle for the Java Cryptography Architecture JCA.CrypTool is a free, open-source e-learning application, used worldwide in the implementation and analysis of cryptographic algorithms. The current beta version (called milestone 5, intended for developers and users) has been released in September 2009. JCrypTool is developed in Java and based on Eclipse RCP. CrypTool 2.0 provides a fully developed architecture and usable cryptographic functionality combined with a pathbreaking drag-and-drop GUI. In July 2008 the first beta version (for developers and end users) has been released.
Both follow-up projects use state-of-the-art standards of software development, but are still in beta status:ĬrypTool 2.0 is developed in C# with Visual Studio 2008 ( Express Edition) and WPF.
For advanced tasks and problems there is still the offline version of CrypTool which can be downloaded and installed.Ĭurrently the CrypTool team is working on two projects intended to become the successors of the current release version CrypTool 1.4.x which has been written in C++. On this website for first-time users and young people we provide cryptology in an appealing and easy way.
This portal gives people interested in cryptology the possiblity to try out a variety of ciphers and encryption methods in their own browser without downloading and installing any kind of software. Thus far, the portal is only available in German and is intended to act as a platform for teachers to share teaching materials about cryptology and related links.
