Lesson intentions To know that text can be protected using “encryption”
Success Criteria:
1: Be know that encryption turns plain text into cipher text
2: To be able to encrypt and decrypt messages
3: To be aware of disadvantages of using the caesar cipher.
Caesar Cipher: A method of "Encrypting" messages by "Shifting" the alphabet by a certain amount.
Encryption:
Turning "plain text" into "Cipher text". This makes it so that people without the "key" cannot understand it.
Decryption:
Turning "Cipher Text" into "Plain text"
Key: The method in encrypting and decrypting. Only you and the person you are sharing with should know this key.

The Image shows a Caesar Cipher wheel. It has a key of 3.
So to ENCRYPT the letter A, it moves 3 spaces to the right. You look at the outer ring then replace it with the letter in the inside ring.
What does the letter A turn into?

You look at the outer ring then replace it with the letter in the inside ring.
Encrypt the message "Hello".
The Image shows a Caesar Cipher wheel. It has a key of 3.
So to DECRYPT the letter D, you look for this letter in the inner circle, then use the letter on the blue ring.
What does D decrypt to?
