Division B students should only expect to see Cryptanalysis of the Porta cipher only on State/National competitions (3.h.vi) while Division C can expect to do Encrypt/Decrypt of the Porta Cipher for Regional tournaments (3.g.iv) and Cryptanalysis on State/National competitions (3.h.vi). (Section: 2 / Paragraph: b / Line: 1) 02/14/2022 Are Google Chrome web browser extensions (i.e. WebPaint) allowed to use on the scilympiad website during competition? No Chrome extensions are not allowed to be used. Only resources provided by the supervisor are allowed and students should save their scrap paper in case the need to show work on how they solved a cipher. (Section: 3 / Line: 7) 12/08/2021 Should Division B students be able to perform cryptanalysis of The Rail Fence Cipher even though only Division C students should be able to encrypt/decrypt them? Division B students should only expect to see Cryptanalysis of the Rail Fence cipher only on State/National competitions with an offset of 0 and a range for the rails and offset (3.h.vii) while Division C can expect to do a Decrypt of the Rail Fence Cipher for Regional tournaments given the number of rails and an unknown offset (3.g.v) and Cryptanalysis on State/National competitions with a range for the rails and either 0 for the offset (3.h.vii) or a range for the offset (3.i.iii). ‹ Inquiry & Nature of Science Are Division B students expected to be able to perform cryptanalysis with the Porta Cipher even though only Division C students should be able to encrypt/decrypt them? ›
