Summary
Humans have been keeping secrets for generations and using cryptology to make sure those secrets don’t fall into the wrong hands.
From the development of ancient Greek ciphers, to the creation of the Enigma and today's CRISPR technology, codes and codebreakers have changed the course of history. Today cryptology addresses cybersecurity and the ethics of hacking our own genetic code.
Cracking the Code reveals the history of codes, explores why humans keep secrets and introduces us to coding heroes like the Navajo Code Talkers from World War II. Codes have defined human history and will map our digital future. Will you be the next codebreaker to unlock the mysteries behind the codes that shape our world? Key Selling Points
- This STEAM title explores the past, present and future of cryptology. It explores topics including codes that changed the world, coding machines and cybersecurity and the human genetic code, topics making headlines today.
- Introduces well-known coding heroes such as Alan Turing and Ada Lovelace. It also includes people whose work hasn’t been as well recognized, including the Cree and Navajo Code Talkers from World War II and Elizebeth Smith Friedman. Contemporary coders such as teenager Avye Couloute and Bruce Schneier are also discussed.
- The book appeals to the natural curiosity of readers by detailing famous historical codes that remain unsolved today. This element not only adds a layer of mystery but also challenges readers who might be inspired to try solving these codes themselves.
- Includes a number of curriculum connections including coding, computational thinking, computer science, cybersecurity, World War II.
