Today, we are connected through internet. Everything is attached to internet, so everything is vulnerable of being hacked. Large quantity of personal data, product data and transaction data in smartphones and computers are at risk. Therefore, cybersecurity is a requirement to prevent or minimize loss from any cyberattack. The study of cybersecurity has gathered interest from many students who are in the School of Computer Science and Engineering. Cryptography and Network Security is one of the course under the elective focus of cybersecurity. The aim is to help students understand the difficult mathematic concepts behind Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Calculation and Encryption/Decryption by implementing a simple and easy use demonstrator as teaching tools
