Abstract | Teaching the concept of cryptography to undergraduate students in small traditional liberal art schools is important, but a challenging task. It is important because cryptography is the theoretical basis of computer and network security. It is challenging because with heavy mandatory liberal art class requirements, there is no room to accommodate an entire course or two on advanced topics such as cryptography in Computer Science curriculum. Thus, the concept of cryptography is sprinkled in different courses such as Operating Systems, Computer Networking, and Discrete Mathematics.Depending on time allowance, the author has taught this subject in one-class period to two-week period. Regardless of the length of time, students generally would like to know how to apply the cryptography in actual applications. Recently, the author along with a colleague has devised a model of "On-line/Off-line Signature Scheme with Two Signers" of which many applications (such as e-Traveler's Check [3], e-Check [4], and Proxy Signature) can build on top. The e-Traveler's Check [3] is the first ever electronic version of a paper Traveler's Check. By carefully selecting a set of important, representative cryptography components, along with the devised model and diverse applications, students get a coherent sense and appreciation of cryptography and more importantly many students express interest in going on pursuing cryptography in graduate schools or professional fields. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
