CR1 - Cryptography
During this unit, pupils will learn about the use and purpose of cryptography and encryption of data. They will learn about the purpose and use of cryptography in everyday society and understand how the use of computers has enabled ever more secure and sophisticated methods of cryptography to be developed.
Learning Objectives
To understand the term ‘cryptography’
To be able to identify two of the earliest methods of encrypting messages
To be able to create their own cipher code
Learning Outcomes
All pupils will: be able to decrypt at least one hieroglyphic message and one Caesar cipher message
Most pupils will: be able to confidently decrypt and encrypt messages using ciphers
Some pupls will: develop a logical, original cipher code of their own and use the code to write an encrypted message
