-- Please sit with your groups and do the "Encoding Exercise" at the end of the Encryption section in our online text. (10 minutes)
-- Then please decode the following. (YOU MAY NOT USE AN APP OR ONLINE TOOL, ONLY YOUR OWN INTELLECTUAL ABILITIES. :-) ) This is a competition and the first group to email me the correct decoded messages and key for deciphering the code for all five will win a prize! (20 minutes maximum)
1. PGGTFU CZ POF
2. DRO YPPCOD SC DOX
3. JC IJ TJP CVQZ YDNXJQZMZY HT NZXMZO
4. LUJYFWAPVU PZ MBU
5. MVKZGXBQWV QA ABQTT NCV
-- Next, working in your groups, write a paragraph response to, “Consider designing a more sophisticated algorithm that would be more secure than the Caesar cipher. What sequence of steps could you perform to securely encode your message that would make it harder for an ‘Eve’ to crack your code?” Then email it to me before the end of class. (15 minutes maximum)
-- Then please read the TOPIC: Cybersecurity section in our online text, paying special attention to the CIA triangle (confidentiality, integrity, availability). Please read through the end of the section on Social Engineering. (Do not do the exercise at the end of this section.) If you do not finish reading in class, please finish reading this tonight as homework.
***Please be sure to include all your group members' names on all you submitted work.
***Please remember we have a vocabulary test tomorrow. If you have additional time in class, after completing today's assignments, you may study for the vocabulary test.
