Product Description
These six comprehensive lectures, with illustrations, were prepared and delivered at NSA headquarters by Mr.Friedman at the request of the Agency in order to have the history of cryptology recorded by the most eminent pioneer in the application of scientific principles to the field -- one who, without question, laid the foundation for modern concepts of cryptography and cryptanalysis. Text contains a complete historical study concerning cryptography and cryptanalysis.
Customer Reviews & Comments Friedman is an important figure in the history of cryptology. For students of the subject, reading orginal writings by the man credited with breaking the "Purple Code" is de rigueur. The content of this material is very good but the quality of reproduction is sub-standard.
