Vigenere encode decode program
Vigenere encode decode program

  • This program uses a VigenΓ¨re cipher to encode an image and decode the image.
  • At the top of the screen is the color pattern which is used as the encryption key.
  • Press button A to 'encrypt' the image.
  • How good is this encryption? Can you still recognize the image once it's encrypted? Or not?
  • Press button B to 'decrypt' the image.
  • Read the code and see if you can understand what it's doing.
  • Use the debugger/"slo-mo" to see how the program is stepping through lines of code.
  • Change the Sprite image (pick a different image from the Gallery or draw your own).
  • Change the Password color pattern - pick fewer colors.
  • See if your neighbor can correctly identify the image.
  • Now change the Password color pattern again - this time pick more colors.
  • Now see if your neighbor can identify the image.
  • What does this tell you about the importance of a strong password?
