Cryptography and the Internet
Overview Cryptography,the art and science of secret codes, has evolved dramatically over the centuries,especially since World War II. For most of their history, codes have relied on sharing secrets between small groups of people who needed to communicate safely and privately. The shared secret might be a codebook that translated important words and phrases into short,nonsense words. This not only concealed a message's meaning but made it shorter. Codebooks were popular among wealthy individuals and large companies during the days of the telegraph.
