Messages require high security in the exchange process because the message is confidential and may only be read by the intended recipient. Information security problems in messages are often encountered, such as active eavesdropping, passive eavesdropping, fraud and data manipulation by unauthorized parties. To overcome this problem, cryptography can be used. This research uses cryptographic techniques with the Vigenere Cipher method to encrypt messages. The aim of this research is to encrypt messages to produce codes that will be sent to the recipient. The encryption process is carried out using the Vigenere Cipher method in the Python programming language. The researcher implemented a program to encrypt the message. The research results show that messages can be protected more strongly and securely. So, if the message is hijacked or intercepted by irresponsible parties, it will be difficult for them to find out the contents of the message. In this way, the confidentiality and authenticity of the message is maintained until it reaches the recipient.

Radicalism remains a widespread global threat, especially in multicultural countries like Indonesia. Educational institutions play an essential role in countering radical ideologies by shaping students' characters to foster resilience against extremism. This paper explores how the synergy between architectural design, the authenticity of the place, and social adaptive learning through social networks and effective curriculum management contributes to creating an effective anti-radicalism learning environment.

Furthermore, integrating social networks into educational environments is examined for their role in promoting socially adaptive learning. Social platforms provide opportunities for students to engage with diverse perspectives, develop critical thinking, and build empathy—skills that are essential to counter radicalization. The SLR method allows for a comprehensive synthesis of research findings, offering new insights into how educational spaces can be designed to foster anti-radicalism character. This study contributes to the body of knowledge on the relationship between architecture, cultural context, effective curriculum implementation, and digital learning and offers recommendations for educational institutions to enhance their role in preventing radicalization.

This paper proposes Blockchain-Enhanced Multi-Factor Authentication (BEMFA) to address the limitations of existing authentication mechanisms in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). BEMFA combines multi-factor authentication (MFA) with blockchain technology to ensure robust, scalable, and tamper-resistant security tailored to IIoT environments. This method dynamically manages roles and permissions, detects malicious devices, and ensures data integrity and authenticity. Our results demonstrate that BEMFA significantly enhances security, addressing critical access control challenges and mitigating risks posed by malicious devices while maintaining data integrity.

In the rapidly advancing digital era, information security has become a crucial aspect in maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data. This article discusses the relationship between information system auditing and the use of modern cryptographic combinations in securing text messages. Information system auditing serves as an evaluation mechanism to ensure that security policies, procedures, and standards are correctly and consistently applied. On the other hand, modern cryptography provides advanced encryption technology that protects text messages from unauthorized access and manipulation. By combining these two approaches, we can create a robust framework for securing text messages, ensuring that data remains safe and protected during transmission and storage. Research results indicate that integrating information system auditing with modern cryptographic techniques significantly enhances the security and reliability of information systems.
