Privacy and security

This Content Descriptor from Year 9 Technologies provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

apply the Australian Privacy Principles to critique and manage the digital footprint that existing systems and student solutions collect

Elaborations

  • • critiquing the extent to which online services allow them to control access to their data in line with the Australian Privacy Principles, for example assessing whether their social media accounts allow them to update their contact information if these details change, and who else can see that information on the platform
  • • using the Australian Privacy Principles as a reference to evaluate the steps they are taking to protect user information in their application, for example explaining how they are storing passwords using cryptographic hashing algorithms so that a data breach does not expose their users to security vulnerabilities due to password re-use

Achievement Standard This Supports

This Content Descriptor contributes to the following Achievement Standard:

Year 9 Technologies Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 10 students develop and modify innovative digital solutions, decompose real-world problems, and critically evaluate alternative solutions against stakeholder elicited user stories. Students acquire, interpret and model complex data with databases and represent documents as content, structure and presentation. They design and validate algorithms and implement them, including in an object-oriented programming language. Students explain how digital systems manage, control and secure access to data; and model cyber security threats and explore a vulnerability. They use advanced features of digital tools to create interactive content, and to plan, collaborate on and manage agile projects. Students apply privacy principles to manage digital footprints.
