Abstract:
This dissertation explores the use of educational software within the scope of university
level cryptography and cryptanalysis. To thoroughly investigate the effectiveness of the
design of cryptography and cryptanalysis learning tools - the methodology and imple
mentation of ’Zodiac Cryptogram’, an educational cryptography tool is detailed and
evaluated. Through evaluation results, the Zodiac Cryptogram Tool displayed a no
table advantage over the use of similar cryptanalysis learning resources.
