Inspired by Hedy Lamarr’s revolutionary work, this activity builds on the concepts learned in Activity 1 and introduces students to frequency hopping. Students will learn the method of hiding radio messages by transmitting bits and pieces over several radio channels until an entire message has been sent, making it very difficult for an eavesdropper to intercept them.

Building on the concepts learned in Activity 3, students will learn about obfuscating passwords through a method known as “hashing.” This security function shows students how a plaintext password can be scrambled and encrypted by a hashing function, such as SHA-256, in such a way that makes it unreadable to hackers.

Building on the concepts learned in Activity 4, it’s up to the student hacker to turn the tables by working out the method for hacking SHA-256 password encryption.The student hacker must search a rainbow table, which is comprised of precomputed hashes from known and frequently used passwords, to decrypt the hashed password they’ve stolen.

Building on the concepts learned in Activity 2, this activity introduces students to Caesar ciphers. Students will experiment with encoding messages by using a Caesar shift, which is used to switch up the order of letters in the alphabet to transform plaintext into a ciphertext.

Activity 1 introduces students to “cleartext” messaging. Students will send messages between two micro:bit radios on one of 83 radio channels using plaintext characters, referred to as cleartext. The “student hacker” will attempt to eavesdrop on the conversation by listening in on the same channel.
