Cryptography has a pivotal role to secure 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. In particular, we conducted a workshop with 14 high-school dyslexic students and taught them fundamental encryption methods. The students engaged well, learned the techniques, and enjoyed the training. We conclude that with a proper pedagogical approach, dyslexia cannot hinder learning a complex subject such as cryptography.
