Encryption algorithms
Encryption is the process of changing the data into another form or code so that only people with access to a secret key or password can read it. For others, the message will not be in a readable form.
This KS3 Computer Science module introduces encryption algorithms to your students, explaining:
- Encryption
- Caesar cipher
- Reverse cipher
- Pigpen cipher
- Modulo 2 encoding
- Transposition cipher
