CSU Encryption and Cryptography Discussion

For your critical thinking assignment this week, research an encryption method that has been used historically but is no longer used (such as the Enigma cipher of the Germans in World War II). Describe how that encryption method works, paying particular attention to how it contrasts with more modern methods. Be sure to discuss at least one modern method in your comparison.

Your paper should be 4-6 pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) and conform to
