    It explores "perfect secrecy" & pseudorandom number generators.

    Hope you enjoy!

    Chapter 4 published. History of Cryptography

    Today I published Chapter 4. It took me some time to figure out a way to cram 2000 years of cryptography in under 9 min.

    Hope you enjoy!

    Would love feedback on this one:

    Khan Academy joins forces with Brit Cruise / Chapter 3 posted!

    Hello backers,

    Today I have some very exciting news. Over the holidays Sal Khan from Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.com) expressed interest in my videos after stumbling across my YouTube page. The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit educational organization with the goal of educating the world for free (with some serious funding help from Google and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation). They are a small team with a big dream. Within 8 hours of his phone call I quit my job(s)...as of this moment I'm officially a full-time employee of Khan Academy. My job? "Continue making your videos". Simple as that. No more, no less.

    Soon these videos will reach an audience of millions, all because of the generous support of a small (88) handful of individuals such as yourself who believed in my idea.

    Also, Chapter 3 of my pilot episode is now online, please check it out now!

    Thank you again & Happy new year,

    Brit
