    The Development of Monitors If you want to keep information secret, you have two possible strategies: hide the existence of the information, or make the information unintelligible. Cryptography is the art and science of keeping information secure from unintended audiences, of encrypting it. Conversely, cryptanalysis is the art and science of breaking encoded data. The branch of mathematics encompassing both cryptography and cryptanalysis is cryptology. This method of secrecy has existed

    How The Enigma Machine Impacted WWII In WWII Germany started using coded messages. The Allied Powers, which were the United States, Britain and France, needed to understand these messages to win the war against Germany. To code a message means to create a secret message that makes it unreadable to the enemy, without the knowledge of the code the message can not be read. Near the end of WWI, a German engineer named Arthur Scherbius created a coding machine called the Enigma machine. In the early
