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.
