Summary
Summary
This book includes a running case study and historical notes. It weaves the history of cryptography throughout; discussing the spies, code breakers, and code talkers of WW II, and the hackers and attackers of today. Students learn how to think like cryptographers trying to fend off attacks, or secure software systems, through hands-on activities.
