This document contains instructions for students to complete two encryption activities using Vernam encryption. In the first activity, students are asked to encrypt the plaintext "HELLO" using the key "TEACH" by filling in a table with the plaintext, key, and ciphertext in ASCII decimal, binary, and XOR'd binary values. The second activity has students decrypt a given ciphertext back to the original plaintext by filling in a similar table performing the reverse XOR operation using the same key. The document provides instructions and templates for students to practice the Vernam encryption technique.
