About Nils Kopal
Hi,
my name is Nils, and I'm a professor of applied computer science.
I'm passionate about making cryptography accessible to everyone—no math or computer science PhD required. On my YouTube channel, I break down complex cryptographic concepts into clear, engaging videos that anyone with a technical curiosity can follow. Whether you're simply interested in how encryption works or you're a developer looking to implement secure systems, you’ll find something valuable here.
One of my key interests is historical cryptography, which features prominently on my channel. I explore encrypted communications from the past—used by emperors, kings, queens, and spies—to uncover the secrets they tried to hide. I explain both the methods used to encrypt these messages and the techniques modern researchers use to break them and recover the plaintexts.
Join me in uncovering the fascinating world of cryptography, past and present, on my channel :-)!
