Topics range from the cardan-grid invented by mathematician Gerolamo Cardano (1550) to modern methods of visual cryptography. Another focus is perceptive cryptography, i.e. methods where the human brain decrypts a message, as in the case of autostereograms. | Topics range from the cardan-grid invented by mathematician Gerolamo Cardano (1550) to modern methods of visual cryptography.
