Process of applying Cryptool 2 tool in teaching and practicing cryptographic algorithms

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a procedure for applying CrypTool 2 in teaching and practicing cryptographic algorithms, from determining the operating scenarios of the algorithm, selecting modules and customizing them to fit usage requirements. The results show the potential application of the CrypTool 2 in educational and training activities cryptography, especially for novices who starts learning and researching cryptographic algorithms.
