These sources can help you further your understanding of cryptography and the exercises presented here:

• Wikipedia!

  Wikipedia has many useful articles on cryptography, including:

  • El Gamal Encryption

  • RSA Encryption

• CrypToolOnline

  This website can be used to try classical ciphers and classical cryptanalysis techniques.

  • Go to 'Ciphers' -> 'the name of the cipher you are interested in' to try encryption or decryption using some cipher.

  • Go to 'Cryptanalysis' to try cryptanalysis techniques.

• dcode.fr

  This website is similar to CrypTool Online, with various tools for cipher application and analysis.
