5.0 out of 5 stars A superb introduction to encryption and steganography, 9 May 2001
Fred Wrixon has provided us with one of the best introductions I have seen to the world of encryption and clandisting methods of communication.

He has delved in to a good deal of the history revolving around the use of encryption and included several detailed descriptions of ciphers and how they were used. Many of them are still usuable today!

A number of interesting methods of secret communication are also covered. You are even provided with instructions on how to make invisible ink. This reminds me of my school days.

Befuddle your friends and colleagues with this one and have fun at the same time.

Hey, who said that crypto was not a fun topic?

Warmly recommended!

With regards, The Virus Buster
