This concise and comprehensive work makes clear the relationship among the three parts of the encryption triad--cryptology, communications, and computers. As former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry writes in his foreword to this book, it "tells in one easily accessible condensed form the remarkable story of how encryption techniques have evolved through the centuries and the even more remarkable story of how human ingenuity and computer technology have been used to decrypt ever more complex encrypted messages."
