Cryptographic algorithms are used to protect the confidentiality and integrity of information or data from unintended parties. The process to understand these cryptographic algorithms requires students to read through academic papers or technical reports which mainly consist of mathematical formulations as their building blocks. The availability of various multimedia tools can be used to create a more interesting and fun learning process. In this paper, we use Macromedia Flash 8 to create an algorithm animation for LOKI97, MARS, Pseudo- Hadamard Transform (PHT) and Latin Square. Furthermore, the use of algorithm animation with multimedia element can be adopted by students as an extra tool to easily understand the concept and some applications behind each cryptographic algorithm.
