Keepers Of Secrecy, Warriors Of Privacy & Celebrants Of Anarchy In The New Code War
Crypto tells the inside story of the great Code War. It is the story of privacy in the information era, a compelling history that bears witness to the original dreams and nightmares of the digital revolution. Highly acclaimed technology writer Steven Levy charts the evolution of cryptography from a closely held government technology for keeping secrets to a potentially mass-market means for protecting them. At the centre of his compelling narrative are the 'crypto guerillas' who kicked off the revolution - a subversive subculture of hackers, cypherpunks and maverick math-maticians willing to lay down their freedom to spread the tools of privacy throughout the world.
