Ciphers, Codes, Steganography & Secret Messages
Discover the science of cryptology! This book is a complete introduction to codes, ciphers and secret messages. You will discover:
- How codes and ciphers work
- How secret messages can be concealed in apparently innocuous messages (steganography)
- How codebreakers and cryptanalysts break codes and ciphers
- Many examples of how codes and ciphers have changed history and continue to shape the world to this day
