Cryptography finds great applicability in the protection of sensitive information and can be a motivator to the teaching and learning process of mathematical concepts. So we challenge ourselves to understand the structure of encryption and use the inverse function to encode and decode messages. It is a theoretical study, from the literature that deals with Cryptography and Reverse Function. For this, we deal with cryptography and its use, especially since the advent of communication technologies; we present the public key cryptography system - Rivest, Shamir, Adleman (RSA); and the concept of inverse function. From this, we elaborate a proposal of didactic activities with a view to the process of teaching and learning. We conclude that Cryptography constitutes a promising methodological possibility for the development of didactic activities, with a view to understanding the concept of inverse function
