Encryption

Muhtasari

Every online payment, private message and password submission travels across networks that the sender does not own and cannot fully control. Without protection, anyone able to intercept that traffic could read it in plain sight. Encryption is the tool that turns readable data into something meaningless to everyone except the intended recipient, and it has been reinvented many times over more than two thousand years.

In this lesson you will learn why data needs to be encrypted before it travels across a network, and you will work through four classic ciphers named on the specification: the Caesar, Vigenere and Rail Fence ciphers, which you will apply by hand, and the Pigpen cipher, whose 'key' is a set of secret symbols rather than letters.

Malengo

  1. Understand the need for data encryption
  2. Understand how encryption algorithms work (Pigpen cipher, Caesar cipher, Vigenere cipher, Rail Fence cipher)

Maelezo ya Somo

Data sent across a network, whether the open internet, a public Wi-Fi hotspot or a company's internal network, passes through equipment that is not under the sender's or receiver's control: routers, switches and cables owned by third parties. Anyone with access to that equipment, or running software that captures network traffic, can potentially read every packet that is not protected.
