3ncrypt3ed Club 10th Anniversary!

First 3ncrypted club meeting of the 2025-2026 school year08/21/25

Welcome back all returning club members, and an even greater welcome to new club members! Today marks the 10th anniversary of the E3ncrypt3d club, and the start of this year’s Cyber Patriot!

To set things off, all club officers were elected! This consisted of Jacob as president, Richard as V.P, Zavien as Historian, Christian as Treasurer, and Serge as Secretary. All positions were contested for, except for Secretary. There were great efforts all around, but votes were cast and positions were earned.

Afterwards, introductions to the club by Mr. Smith took place. Soon thereafter we headed straight into an overview of the CIA Triad, which consists of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It was a brief explanation of a very important topic, so make sure to remember what it stands for!

We also lightly skimmed over cryptography with Caesar’s cipher, following it with brief introductions into other encryption languages. Metadata was also reintroduced and practiced with a light exercise, comparing three images of cats and their metadata.

Cyber Patriot is on the way faster than you think, and we will be delving into many subjects of blue teaming in future meetings. That wraps up our gathering for today, thank you to all club members that attended today!
