"Code breaking has always played an essential role not only in the romance of espionage but, as importantly, in its reality. This reality continues today in an age of electronic banking and the Internet, with its emphasis on the coding and decoding of information. The achievements of cryptography - the art of writing and deciphering coded messages - have become a part of our everyday life." "Rudolf Kippenhahn offers readers both a chronicle of cryptography as well as an exploration of the constantly evolving art of coding and decoding languages."--Jacket. Translated from the German.
