WIP: Using GeoGebra to Learn the Basics of Post-Quantum Cryptography
This work in progress paper describes a proposal to use the GeoGebra environment as a useful didactic and conceptual tool to introduce the basic concepts of the increasingly relevant area of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). The advancement and threat posed by quantum computing present significant challenges to information security. This situation has generated an urgent need to develop cryptographic systems capable of resisting quantum attacks. In this context, PQC has emerged as a crucial research field. However, one of the main challenges facing this field is the scarcity of available educational resources. This paper addresses this issue by creating educational resources focused on lattices using GeoGebra. An activity has been designed to introduce and relate lattices to various mathematical concepts taught in the classroom. The developed activity is completely innovative and aims to make the understanding of PQC more accessible by providing visual and manipulable tools that help students internalize the mathematical and computational principles involved in information security in the post-quantum era.
