Can You Crack the Code? Test Your Cryptic Quiz Answer Key Skills

In the Caesar cipher, each letter in the plaintext is shifted a certain number of places down the alphabet. In this case, 'A' is shifted three places to become 'D'.

Steganography is the practice of hiding a message within other information, such as an image or audio file.

Morse code uses a system of dots and dashes to represent letters, numbers, punctuation, and special characters.

Ciphertext' is the term for the encrypted, unreadable message.

DES, or Data Encryption Standard, is a symmetric encryption method, meaning the same key is used for encryption and decryption.

RSA stands for Rivest, Shamir, Adleman, the names of the creators of the RSA cryptographic algorithm.

Asymmetric encryption uses a pair of keys: a public key to encrypt the message and a private key to decrypt it.

Hashing is used to verify the integrity of data. It generates a unique hash value for a given input and any change in the input, even a minor one, will change the hash value.

A cryptogram is a type of puzzle that uses a substitution cipher where each letter in the plaintext is substituted with a letter from a fixed alphabet.
