Krátky popis
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, Codebreaker provides a fascinating
insight into this most secret and mysterious of crafts. It shows
just how Julius Caesar cunningly obscured the meaning of vital
wartime messages 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.
