This study aims to provide a discussion of the concepts involving encryption, through its application of prime numbers, and possible links with education. The criterion used to choose one or other cryptographic system was subjective, many systems have not been addressed, even containing intrinsic relations with the theme. The necessity to exchange confidential information urged the rise of art to encode messages, the virtual network and its millions of users identified the need for a system using public key and at the same time, safe. RSA came to supply the needs of a society that increasingly conducts its banking, commercial and social web. One issue which needs to be thought concerning the way how the contents of the called Number Theory have been presented and learned at school. Something that is traditionally consecrated as boring and meaningless. The art of cryptography brings relevant topics to think about mathematical concepts, providing an education for Troubleshooting. The paths taken, thereafter, provide meaningful experiences for the subject, in emancipatory education, as suggested by Adorno and Ranci?re. Suggested activities from different coding systems intend to instigate students and educators to reconsider the different possibilities of a problem, raising the sensitivity of thinking and find ways to solve and not repeat the mechanisms of a mathematical algorithm, so that the educational act passes by the complex circumstances that present themselves today.
