Define the following terms:



2a

Code




2b

Cipher




2c

Steganography




2d

Plain text




2e

Key




2f

Public-key cryptography




2g

One-way function





3

Define each of the following categories of ciphers, give an example of each, and encipher your name using each technique.



3a

Transposition




3b

Polybius Square




3c

Square




3d

Substitution




3e

Polyalphabetic





4

Investigate whether each item in the list below is a code, a cipher, steganography, or a plain text message.




5

Classical cryptology is the study of codes and ciphers used in the past. Discover how the following cryptographic forms were encoded in antiquity, and try to duplicate their processes to record a message:




6

Prepare a message containing the Pathfinder Law enciphered in a Caesar cipher and indicate the key used.




7

Use steganography to write the Pathfinder Pledge.




8

Choose a cipher to encrypt a favorite Bible text and let another person decrypt it. Be sure to give that person the type of cipher and the key used.




9

Decrypt a message made by another person using the key and cipher type they used.
