Riddle Me This: The Ciphers, Codes, and Keys of Cryptography

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Taken from the Greek words meaning a hidden secret, Cryptography is the hiding of information through ciphers, codes, and keys.

Modern cryptography includes computer-generated codes and deciphers.

This book deciphers the history of cryptography, the classic and famous ciphers (some not yet solved!) and the applications in modern cryptography and encryption software.
