Cryptography - Keep Your Privacy One Way or Another
cn | 11 March, 2006 21:03Over at Slashdot there's a review of a new book about the history of cryptography. Here's a clip:
Ever since the first codes and ciphers were developed, there has been a battle between those who want to keep their information secret, and those who want to read that information. It has been a purely intellectual war, but one that is often driven by motives from above that are far more violent. This book chronicles that battle, from it's inception, to the modern day, and outlines the techniques used to obfuscate information, and the fascinating history of the application of those techniques.
Remember - be responsible for protecting yourself, because those claiming to be your protector might just be spying on you.
