Using a wide range of historical anecdotes and real-world examples, Joshua Holden shows how mathematical principles underpin the ways that different codes and ciphers work. He focuses on both code making and code breaking and discusses most of the ancient and modern ciphers that are currently known. He begins by looking at substitution ciphers, and then discusses how to introduce flexibility and additional notation. Holden goes on to explore polyalphabetic substitution ciphers, transposition ciphers, connections between ciphers and computer encryption, stream ciphers, public-key ciphers, and ciphers involving exponentiation. He concludes by looking at the future of ciphers and where cryptography might be headed. \u003ci\u003eThe Mathematics of Secrets \u003c\/i\u003ereveals the mathematics working stealthily in the science of coded messages. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA blog describing new developments and historical discoveries in cryptography related to the material in this book is accessible at http: \/\/press.princeton.edu\/titles\/10826.html.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Suitable for anyone with a basic understanding of high school math, \u003ci\u003eThe Mathematics of Secrets\u003c\/i\u003e presents the theoretical principles of cryptography, from Julius Caesar's primitive cipher to the intricacies of the modern digital signature.
