- <h2>What is Cryptography?</h2>
- <p><b>Cryptography</b> is the science of secure communications,
- formed from the Greek words<i>kryptós</i> meaning "hidden"
- and <i>lógos</i>, meaning "word." The first recorded use of cryptography
- was by the Spartans who as early as 400 BC employed a cipher device called a
- scytale to send secret communications between military
- commanders. The scytale consisted of a tapered baton around which was wrapped
- a piece of parchment inscribed with the message. Once unwrapped the parchment
- appeared to contain an incomprehensible set of letters; however when wrapped
- around another baton of identical size the original text appears.

- <p style="border-bottom: 2px solid yellow; padding-bottom: 10px">Cryptographers developed more and more ingenious systems,
- but it was in the 20<sup>th</sup> Century that the science of cryptography took
- off. The first major achievement was the development of rotor cipher machines.
- An American, Edward Hebern recognized that by hardwiring alphabetic substitution in
- the connections from one side of an electrical rotor to those on the other side and
- cascading a collection of such rotors, alphabetic substitutions of almost any
- complexity could be produced. German engineers independently discovered the rotor
- concept and designed the precursors to the most famous cipher machine in history
- – the German Enigma machine which was used during World War II. The cracking
- of the Enigma ciphers by British and Polish cryptanalysts is one of the
- greatest triumphs in the history of cryptography and played an important role in
- the Allied victory.
