| Underwater hacker missile wars: a cryptography and engineering contest |
J. Holden, R. Layton, L. Merkle and T. Hudson
|
For a recent student conference, the authors developed a day-long
design problem and competition suitable for engineering, mathematics and
science undergraduates. The competition included a cryptography problem, for
which a workshop was run during the conference. This paper describes the
competition, focusing on the cryptography problem and the workshop. Notes from
the workshop and code for the computer programs are made available via the
Internet. The results of a personal self-efficacy (PSE) survey are described.
