The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography
From the best-selling author of Fermat’s Last Theorem, The Code
Book is a history of man’s urge to uncover the secrets of codes,
from Egyptian puzzles to modern day computer encryptions. As in
Fermat’s Last Theorem, Simon Singh brings life to an anstonishing
story of puzzles, codes, languages and riddles that reveals man’s
continual pursuit to disguise and uncover, and to work out the
secret languages of others. Codes have influenced events throughout
history, both in the stories of those who make them and those who
break them.The betrayal of Mary Queen of Scots and the cracking of
the enigma code that helped the Allies in World War II are major
episodes in a continuing history of cryptography. In addition to
stories of intrigue and warfare, Simon Singh also investigates
other codes, the unravelling of genes and the rediscovery of
ancient languages and most tantalisingly, the Beale ciphers, an
unbroken code that could hold the key to a $20 million treasure.|
