The NSA has redone their website as of January 2009. Seems they have added a few extra pages in effort to get American kids started early in learning encryption. CryptoKids™ America's Future. Fun stuff, but very odd considering the normal content just explained dull boring stuff like: What is a worm? and how does it spread on the Internet. Often times it made for some good reading for people who enjoy algorithms. Raise your hand if you like algorithms. It was usually was boring NSA stuff and made you feel sleepy. Often times you'd wish the NSA would put things in simple terms too. Well they have and wow! Are they targeting avg Americans or Kids? Makes you think. The website is in flash and navigates kids through learning all types encryption and decryption methods. So look out teachers your students may be passing secret odd looking notes behind your back. As an American I am glad NSA is starting to find our talented kids early in their life. Who knows? There might be some talent willing to serve our country.
