Introduction
The science of secret writing message is known as cryptography. Secret writing for the transmissionof messages has been practiced for more than 4000 years.The struggles between those who develop system of secret writing, the cryptographers and thosewho try to break those systems, the cryptanalysts have made use of mathematical systems. Inaddition, the most advanced computer technology available has been enlisted in the production of more complex methods of writing and breaking systems of secret writing.Cryptography is a broad subject and it needs knowledge of several areas of mathematics, includingnumber theory, groups, rings and fields, linear algebra, probability and information theory.The basic point of cryptography is to allow two people sending a message over an insecurechannele (for example a computer network) so the hackers or the intruders won’ts understand themessage.The purpose of the Kryptos algorithm to make secure transmission of sending messages. Thekryptos algorithm is combined ASCII code and RSA algorithm.Group Members: Alice, Eliyas, Sara, Sulma, Yogesh page no:3 out of 45
