  • Evaluation Updates and Support
  • Questions and Discussion

HOMEWORK
Please view four (4) CryptoClub Tutorials on decrypting/cracking multiplicative and affine ciphers. Keep notes and comments to be discuss at the meeting. You are welcome to leave comments on the actual video comment thread, if you’d prefer. Please have those comments ready for discussion on the call. They are 4-5 minutes each so allow 45 minutes for the assignment.

Questions to consider while viewing:

  1. Are the topics covered helpful for you?
  2. What other topics might be helpful?
  3. Would these videos be useful to Club Leaders? Students?
  4. Do you have any other feedback?

An alternate way to decrypt multiplicative ciphers.
Video 1: Times3 Decryptionhttps://youtu.be/manMhWSSC2E
For the student who has just learned how to encrypt, we show a method to decrypt that does not need the knowledge of a multiplicative inverse mod 26 for the key.

Why is the figure 9 like a peacock?
Video 2: Decrypting a Riddle with the Affine Cipherhttps://youtu.be/FcSSyGxT-mU
This video shows how to use the Affine Encrypting/Decrypting Tool on cyrptoclub.orghttp://cyrptoclub.org/
Video 3: Affine Decrypt 2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2b7SM3Juz0
Another video does the same problem but uses the crack substitution tool to generate an affine cipher table to decrypt.
