Few children (or even adults) really understand what makes a password secure, or how to keep their online information safe. Your task is to create a simple set of password cracking and message encryption/decryption tools that children can run on the Raspberry Pi, together with a scripting language or GUI for them to run simple statistical experiments to understand what factors make their messages more secure. Children love code-breaking, so it should be easy to make this into an entertaining Raspberry Pi game, not just boring school work.
