Sage Cryptography Interactions

[Carson Kurtz]

Hi there, 

I am currently a student working with a professor at a partner university to help improve the cryptography resources on Sage. Earlier in August of 2019, her and a colleague developed some Sage interactions that could help both students and teachers better understand and utilize the cryptographic functionality of Sage. She recently recruited me to help continue to improve the page, but was wanting me to ask the community whether we should continue to edit the wiki page, move the interacts to a Jupyter notebook, or do something entirely different when moving forward. 

Because I am new to the SageMath community, I am not sure if this is the best place to post my question, but if you have any helpful information or could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!

Best, 

Carson

10 years ago, Minh Nguyen was quite involved in the development of SageMath. He did a thesis on the subject of cryptography and education. You may want to take a look:

I far as I can see you are talking about Sagecell interacts,
as I gather, following the link on
https://wiki.sagemath.org/interact/cryptography,
from http://crypto.katestange.net/mini-sage-introduction/
(there are also SageNB interacts, CoCalc interacts, Jupyter interacts,
so this needs to be said explicitly)

* Sagecell interacts need a Sagecell server to be run.
* SageNB interacts should not be used, as SageNB is being retired.
* CoCalc interacts run on cocalc.com or on a (semi)local install of cocalc.
* Jupyter interacts can either be run locally, or an a Jupyterhub/lab
server, but they are "different" from Sagecell interacts, IMHO,

I don't know much about them, so I'd defer to more knowledgeable people
here.
