In his first book since the bestselling Fermat's Enigma, Simon Singh offers the first sweeping history of encryption, tracing its evolution and revealing the dramatic effects codes have had on wars, nations, and individual lives. From Mary, Queen of Scots, trapped by her own code, to the Navajo Code Talkers who helped the Allies win World War II, to the incredible (and incredibly simple) logisitical breakthrough that made Internet commerce secure, The Code Book tells the story of the most powerful intellectual weapon ever known: secrecy. Throughout the text are clear technical and mathematical explanations, and portraits of the remarkable personalities who wrote and broke the world's most difficult codes. Accessible, compelling, and remarkably far-reaching, this book will forever alter your view of history and what drives it. It will also make you wonder how private that e-mail you just sent really is.

De tous temps, les codes secrets ont décidé du sort des hommes, des peuples et des nations. Grâce à eux, les militaires ont pu mener leurs guerres dans l'ombre, les puissants et les bandits protéger leurs trésors, les amants camoufler leur passion. Les codes sauvèrent ainsi les Grecs des Perses, accompagnèrent César dans ses conquêtes, firent arrêter et décapiter Marie Stuart, scellèrent l'énigme du Masque de fer, décidèrent Wilson à rejoindre les alliés, et permirent d'épargner des milliers de vies pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Simon Singh, avec la clarté et le sens du récit historique qui ont fait le succès du Dernier Théorème de Fermat, retrace la lutte permanente, au cours des ages, entre ceux qui élaborent les codes et ceux qui cherchent à les briser. Une histoire qui court des origines à aujourd'hui, des stratagèmes de la communication pendant l'Antiquité à la confidentialité sur Internet au XXIe siècle. Une histoire qui met en scène des personnages et des scientifiques souvent inconnus - secret oblige -, mathématiciens, physiciens, linguistes mais aussi joueurs d'échecs, de bridge, ou encore cruciverbistes, tous hors du commun. A la croisée du jeu et de la guerre, de l'histoire et de la science, de l'espionnage et de l'informatique, une fantastique page de l'esprit humain, enfin révélée. Simon Singh est docteur en physique nucléaire. Il a travaillé au laboratoire du CNRS à Genève et est l'auteur du Dernier Théorème de Fermat. En fin d'ouvrage, un jeu concours : Simon Singh offre 10 000 livres sterling (environ 100 000 FF) au lecteur qui réussira à briser une série de codes secrets.

Codes have decided the fates of empires, countries, and monarchies throughout recorded history. Mary, Queen of Scots was put to death by her cousin, Queen Elizabeth, for the high crime of treason after spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham cracked the secret code she used to communicate with her conspirators. And thus the course of British history was altered by a few sheets of cryptic prose. This is just one link in humankind's evolutionary chain of secret communication, and just one of the fascinating incidents recounted in The Code Book, written by bestselling author Simon Singh. Combining a superb storyteller's sense of drama and a scientist's appreciation for technical perfection, Singh traces the evolution of secret writing from ancient Greek military espionage to the frontiers of computer science. The result is an epic tale of human ingenuity, with examples that range from the poignant to the peculiar to the world-historical. There is the case of the Beale ciphers, which involves Wild West escapades, a cowboy who amassed a vast fortune, a buried treasure worth $20 million, and a mysterious set of encrypted papers describing its whereabouts--papers that have baffled generations of cryptanalysts and captivated hundreds of treasure hunters. A speedier end to a bloody war was the only reward that could be promised to the Allied code breakers of World Wars I and II, whose selfless contributions altered the course of history; but few of them lived to receive any credit for their top-secret accomplishments. Among the most moving of these stories is that of the World War II British code breaker Alan Turing, who gave up a brilliant career in mathematics to devote himself to theAllied cause, only to end his years punished by the state for his homosexuality, while his heroism was ignored. No less heroic were the Navajo code talkers, who volunteered without hesitation to risk their lives for the Allied forces in the Japanese theater, where they were routinely mistaken for the enemy. Interspersed with these gripping stories are clear mathematical, linguistic, and technological demonstrations of codes, as well as illustrations of the remarkable personalities--many courageous, some villainous, and all obsessive--who wrote and broke them. All roads lead to the present day, in which the possibility of a truly unbreakable code looms large. Singh explores this possibility, and the ramifications of our increasing need for privacy, even as it begins to chafe against the stated mission of the powerful and deeply secretive National Security Agency. Entertaining, compelling, and remarkably far-reaching, this is a book that will forever alter your view of history, what drives it, and how private that e-mail you just sent really is. Included in the book is a worldwide Cipher Challenge--a $15,000 award will be given by the author to the first reader who cracks the code successfully. Progress toward the solution will be tracked on The Code Book website.
