My Cryptography Infographic

    I made a thing. In DTE class, we talked about cryptography and how encryption and decryption works. We were also informed about the multiple ways of encryption and decryption. We were told to make an infographic about it and so we did. We did to the best our brains could do. 

Cryptography

Cryptography is the act of sending secret messages to others via using other means, such as... a Caesar cipher. A Caesar cipher involves switching out letters in the alphabet with different numbers.
Example: Z - A, E - H - Z is to A (1) and E is to H (3)

Another example is a columnar transposition cipher, where words are horizontally placed into a grid and encrypted vertically.

There are different ways to encrypt and decrypt a message, like replacing letters with symbols, which is the most common ones.

Just remember the fact that encrypted messages will take some time to figure out, especially if they're handmade.
