Gaithersburg, April 2013- Jon Andrews, Social & Digital Media Manager of Redport, presents a quick screencast of basic cryptography and how to properly encrypt/decrypt information.

What is cryptography? It is the art of writing or solving code. It's not a new idea, in fact it has been around since 1900BC when the Romans used cryptography in much the same way. It has been successfully used in countless battles and wars over the years and has played an enormous role in shaping and developing many societies and cultures.

The science of cryptography is a very important part of preventing private data from being stolen, which makes this topic very important to know and have a basic understanding of, and this tutorial makes it easy to digest how and why it works.
