The USA's National Security Agency
created a handy mascot to help teach
kids about cryptography. His name is Crypto Cat, and I think he's
pretty cool for a government stooge.
The original material
I was first clued in to Crypto Cat by my good friends TenBaseT and
danish in May 2004. The original URL is http://www.nsa.gov/kids/intro.htm.
That page included a black-and-white Crypto
Cat
for kids to print off and colour in:
as well as a smaller GIF of Crypto
Cat with reference colours:
The products
Now what can we do with those two
things? Hello Inkscape:
You can download the final SVG version for Inkscape: cryptocat.svgz.
I also created a desktop background using Crypto Cat, because he's just
so cool. Click for the big version.
You can also download the Inkscape SVG source for this background: cryptocat-desktop.svgz.
