Synopsis

'If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy' The story of cryptography - the art of encoding electronic information - is one of the most controversial and dramatic of the Digital Revolution. Following the fortunes of Orwellian surveillance figures, Big Brother agencies and covert code-users, Levy shows how cryptography has evolved from a closely held government technology for keeping secrets, to a potentially mass market tool for protecting the privacy of individuals - and enabling today's electronic commerce. A clearly written, definitive account of the people making and unmaking privacy in the technological age - a non fiction subculture techno-thriller.
