Product Description

The Code Book on CD-ROM is an interactive version of Simon Singh's best-selling book The Code Book. It includes a wealth of material including video clips from Simon Singh's channel 4 television series 'The Science of Secrecy' plus other clips filmed specifically for the CD-ROM. Text from the book is presented in easily digested chunks that are illustrated with video clips, computer generated animations and interactive tools and demonstrations. The interactive tools enable messages to be encrypted using all the ciphers discussed in the book. Most impressive of all is the full Enigma Machine emulator. Other tools assist with the cracking of encrypted messages using techniques such as frequency analysis. There are also numerous puzzles and encrypted messages to be cracked. The CD-ROM presents a fascinating subject in a very hands-on format, so that anyone can try out the encryption and cracking methods described in the text, but with the computer doing any tedious analysis that might be necessary. The CD-ROM makes full use of the potential of multimedia to communicate technical ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Code Book - CD-ROM 4 Mar 2012
By Cyberbia
Format:CD-ROM
I bought this CD-ROM from another source some years ago, and I found it thoroughly fascinating in showing how mankind has over the centuries ways and methods in keeping data and messages secret.

The best section I found dealt with the German Enigma machine of the 1930's and 40's. It contains a working demonstration of how the machine worked.

Unfortunately when I changed to Windows 7 it wouldn't work, and as far as I know there are no fixes to make it compatible ..... pity!!
