The Code Book
Happy Boxing Day; hopefully, your holidays were better than mine. If you haven’t yet read Simon Singh’s The Code Book, well, you should. If you have, be sure to check out the free CD-ROM supplement available on Singh’s website.
Whether you’ve read the book or not, you may well enjoy the five-part series based on the same, which was broadcast on the BBC way back in September 1999. I’ve uploaded them to the web for your enjoyment; each is about 9.5MB, and just shy of fifteen minutes’ length. Why, it’s almost like a five-part crypto podcast. 
Right-click on each and save to your computer for best results…
- Part One, the Birth of Cryptography
- Part Two, the Beale Ciphers
- Part Three, the Codes of War
- Part Four, Public-Key Cryptography
- Part Five, the Politics of Privacy
Enjoy!
