Check Codes, Digits & Cryptography

1. The document discusses various identification codes and cryptography. Identification codes discussed include the Universal Product Code (UPC), International Standard Book Number (ISBN), and United States Postal Services codes. These codes use a combination of numbers and a check digit to verify accuracy. 2. Cryptography is defined as the process of encrypting and decrypting messages. It originated from Greek words meaning "hidden writing". Encryption encodes a message, while decryption decodes it back to the original text. Keys and algorithms are used to encrypt and decrypt messages securely. Common cryptographic methods mentioned are the shift cipher and modulo operator.

CHECK CODES & DIGITS & CRYPTOGRAPHY

1. Universal Product Code (UPC)


- is mainly used in products sold in
department stores and groceries. It consists
of barcodes with 12 digits where the last
one is the check digit.

Cryptography

- originated from two greek words, “krypto”


which means hidden and “graphene” which
means writing. It is the making or breaking of
secret codes. It uses two processes namely:
encryption and decryption
2. International Standard Book Number
1. Encryption

digits string of number respectively with
the last digit as the check digit.

postal services in US. It is consist of 11
digits. Key
4. Credit Cards

used to reveal the encrypted message into
is also the check digit.

1. Shift Cipher (Caesar Cipher)


2. Using a Modulo Operator

Shift Cipher

- the simple type of substitution cipher. It uses


shift in forming the key of cryptography.

Modulo Operator

- the sender of the message uses the key


K to encrypt and to decrypt the secret
message.

- The key K may have any integer value
from 0 to 25 and this will be shared to
the person/s who will be receiving the
secret message.
