Features: Everyone loves puzzles. Once we are baffled, we try every means to find clues until we solve the mystery. No wonder people are fascinated by cryptography. Some spend years deciphering codes but ultimately have to give up, leaving the secrets hidden behind numbers, letters, or symbols unsolved. The history of cryptography is as long as the history of civilization. Since people began to feel the need to keep certain information confidential, humans have invented and used codes. In this sense, the history of cryptography is truly long! The personal correspondence and diplomatic letters of kings, queens, popes, and emperors were all sent in code to prevent their contents from leaking to spies and foreign powers. Lovers exchange secret messages so that no one knows about their dates. Military leaders write their orders and reports in code to prevent important battle plans from falling into the hands of the enemy. This book will tell you the history of codebreaking from ancient times to the present quantum science era. You will learn about many difficult-to-crack codes and the brilliant people who deciphered them.
