CodeHS Lessons

Discuss methods and the need for encrypting information when it is being exchanged, e.g., http vs. https. Clarification statement: At this level, student discussions should focus on previous standards as well as grade-appropriate examples of more complex encryption methods, e.g., Vigenere, Bacon’s cipher, and Enigma. Where appropriate, discussions may touch on how methods for encoding data, such as binary (base-2), decimal (base-10), and hexadecimal (base-16), can benefit encryption.
