Goal: Encryption is the key to information security. And the key to modern encryption is that using only Public information, a sender can lock up their message in such a way that it can only be unlocked ( privately, of course) by the intended recipient.
Access Knowledge: Basic Understanding of coded messages.
New Information: Creating encrypted messages
Apply Knowledge: This activity shows how this can be done digitally. And in the digital world, instead of picking up your padlock and using it, I copy it and use the copy, leaving the original lock on the table. If I were to make a copy of a physical padlock, I could only do so by taking it apart. In doing so I would inevitably see how it worked. But in the digital world we can arrange for people to copy locks without being able to discover the key
Generalization: Completion of worksheet and classroom activity.
