The Journey Through Time
Cryptography has evolved over centuries, starting from the ancient Egyptians who used hieroglyphs to convey secret messages. Julius Caesar was known for the Caesar Cipher, a substitution cipher used to protect military communications.
The Evolution Continues
The Middle Ages saw the rise of more sophisticated methods, with the polyalphabetic cipher introduced by Leon Battista Alberti. This was a turning point, showcasing the ever-increasing complexity of cryptographic techniques.
Fast forward to the World War era, where the Enigma machine, used by German forces, became synonymous with cryptographic ingenuity. This was countered by the Allies' efforts at Bletchley Park, led by the brilliant Alan Turing, to decrypt these seemingly unbreakable codes.
