Encryption takes plain text like a message and uses mathematics to encode it as cipher text. For example, a flow chart could show the encryption process of taking a sample message, using an algorithm and key to encode it, then decrypting it back to the original text. The explanation would include encrypting and decrypting sample data, the math involved, and be formatted according to APA style guidelines.

1. Imagine
that you are explaining encryption standards to a nontechnical
audience.
Use
one of the following to help explain one of the cryptography
standards:
Flow chart
Cartoon
Animation
Screenshot from an encryption tool
Any other creative way
Include
an example where plaintext is turned into cipher text, and vice
versa.
Include
all of the following in your explanation:
Sample data
Encryption
Decryption
Mathematics involved
Format
your assignment according to APA guidelines.
