Summary:Cryptography has a pivotal role in securing our digital world. Nonetheless, it is a challenging topic to learn. In this paper, we show that despite its complex nature, dyslexia-a learning disorder that influences reading and writing skills-does not hinder one's ability to comprehend cryptography.
