Digital systems
This content descriptor sets out learning for Years 9 to 10 Digital Technologies. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.
Elaborations
- • Elaboration explaining how the operating system hides the complexity of different hardware from applications, for example applications can treat input from a mouse and touch screen in the same way
- • Elaboration exploring how public key cryptography, for example TLS, and hashing, such as SHA-1, secure the storage and transmission of data
- • Elaboration configuring a simple network using real or simulated hardware and observing packets moving around the network, for example monitoring packets on simulated switches and networked devices
- • Elaboration explaining how domain names and IP addresses allow data to be transmitted to specific networked devices, for example DNS and routing tables
- • Elaboration describing elements of access control and explaining why they are necessary, for example authentication and permissions for restricting access to install software to administrators
