Reseña del editor:
From the Bible code to the Voynich manuscript, from subtly altered hieroglyphs carved into ancient Egyptian monuments to clues hidden in Renaissance paintings, we are surrounded by mysterious codes bearing hidden messages from the past. What does it take to write a fail-safe code? What does it take to break one?
Taking in the full history of code making, from the scribes of ancient Egypt to modern-day computer programmers, The Story of Codesprovides a fascinating insight into this most secret and mysterious of crafts. It shows just how Julius Caesar obscured the meaning of vital wartime messages using a method of shifting letters and explains the way that Sir Francis Walsingham was able to use coded letter to foil plots against Elizabeth I. It gives an account of the ever-more complicated ciphers that were devised – and cracked – during the Cold War and investigates how codebreaking is being used today to fight crime and terrorism. And it shows you how to decipher codes from all periods of history, including many that are still employed today.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: New. From ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs to bitcoin, this survey of encryption and cryptanalysis shows how history has often turned on codes that have been made and broken. The authors, both science journalists, describe historically significant ciphers such as that used by Mary Queen of Scots, the Enigma code broken by Alan Turing at Bletchley Park, and quantum cryptography, but they also provide practical guidance on deciphering codes, covering topics including frequency analysis, homophones, the autokey cipher and Navajo code.
