      Your Turn: Encrypted Radio Keyboard cyber:bot Control

Encrypt Your App Data

In a way, dictionary data looks kind of cryptic to begin with. But, without actual encryption, it would make it very easy for attackers to know where your cyber:bot is going in a contest.  

This activity will show you how to encrypt data for the countdown app from the Cybersecurity: Radio Data tutorial’s Send and Receive Packets activity.  Make sure you understand it!

After that, your task will be to follow the same steps to encrypt the terminal controlled cyber:bot app from the Cybersecurity: Navigation Control from a Keyboard tutorial’s Terminal Control — Go Wireless! Activity.
