Summary: | There is a wide spectrum of topics in the field of computer science. One of which is computer
security. Computer security has grown increasingly important due to the rise in cybercrime.
To provide a complete education with regards to computer science, Nanyang Technological
University (NTU) offers a course, CZ/CE4024 Cryptography and Network Security, for
students keen in computer security. It covers the fundamentals of cryptography and network
security concepts. An area of the topic covered in the module is Secure Hash Algorithm 3
(SHA-3). The algorithm behind SHA-3 is complex and has multiple steps, each unique and
serving different purpose. Due to the complexity, students may find it challenging to fully
grasp the theory of SHA-3. This project aims to solve this problem. The approach taken to
overcome this issue is to implement a web application which visualises each step of SHA-3.
Students do not require additional materials when using the demo, built using AngularJS, to
learn about SHA-3. The demo provides step-by-step information on how to derive the final
output hash from a plaintext message. |
