About this product
Product Information
In each episode of The Science of Secrecy Simon Singh tells us a fascinating story from the history of codes: how the course of Crimean War was changed by the cracking of unbreakable Vigenere code; how the well-timed cracking of a single encoded telegram altered the course of World War I or how the mysteries of the Rosetta stone were revealed. The programme, and book, also investigates present day concerns about privacy on the internet and public key cryptography and looks to the future and the possibilities that quantum computing will radically change the science of secrecy in the 21st century.Product Identifiers
