Module 6 Activity

In this chapter, you read about information system security, including encryption.

The Caesar Cipher. One of the oldest methods of encryption was used by Julius Caesar and involved simply shifting text a specified number of positions in the alphabet. The number of shifted positions is known as the key. So a key = 3 would encrypt ZOO to CRR.

Decrypt the following message which has a key = 3: FRPSXWHU. (NOTE: This decrypted message is a very common word.)

Deliverables: Submit a Microsoft Office Word document with the decrypted message and include an explanation of the steps you took to decrypt the message. To earn points for this Activity, you must include an explanation of the steps you took to decrypt the message. Name the document, Module 6 Activity.
