Bloom's Taxonomy. Bloom's Taxonomy * Benjamin Bloom created this taxonomy for categorizing levels of abstraction - thus providing a useful structure in which to describe Lesson Plan Components: Interest Approach, Discussion, Presentation, Demonstration, and Test Items. Content Goals start with an active verb. Note the 'Cues' below, which suggest active verbs that may be used when creating Lesson Plan Components. See the Example Lesson Plan.

Knowledge observation and recall of information knowledge of dates, events, places knowledge of major ideas mastery of subject matter Cues: list, define, tell, describe, identify, show, label, collect, examine, tabulate, quote, name, who, when, where, etc. Comprehension understanding information grasp meaning translate knowledge into new context interpret facts, compare, contrast order, group, infer causes predict consequences Question Cues: summarize, describe, interpret, contrast, predict, associate, distinguish, estimate, differentiate, discuss, extend Application use information.

The working below covers the making of simple keys and the encryption and decryption of a sample of plain text. By necessity, the example is greatly simplified. In the examples it is assumed that an encrypted message is to be sent from Site A to Site B. Basics Summary[edit] Each site has an encryption key and a decryption key of its own, termed the public and private keys respectively. Making Site B's PUBLIC Key[edit] A recipient's public key used by any who want to send them an encrypted message. Each site's computer produces two very large prime numbers, and since they are the basis of all that follows, these numbers are never revealed to any other.

To illustrate the point for an intending recipient, let us make a simple example with the large prime numbers replaced with very small ones. Say the two secretly held prime numbers are: p = 5 , q = 11 n = 5 x 11 = 55 (the modulus of the arithmetic to use)
