Abstract
Currently, an increase in the use of Python as the embedded scripting syntax in many well-known programs can already be seen, hence the development of Python-based learning resources for cryptography education deserves more attention. This study was conducted to determine the level of awareness among secondary school students about Python as a tool in the education of cryptography, which mainly refers to the encryption technique used to secure our data in the digital age. This study has been conducted through purposive and convenient sampling among secondary school students from selected boarding schools. The age of the students involved in this online survey is between 12 until 17 years old. Average students are aware of Python as a fundamental programming language and the necessity of cryptography as data protection in the digital platform, according to the survey's findings. In conclusion, the findings of this study have gotten great reviews. Most students agreed that Python can be applied as an instrument for the education of cryptography.
