The world has evolved in millions of ways over the centuries. One of these ways is how cryptologists create codes and how cryptanalysts break them. Within The Code Book, we hear a lot about the on paper work that goes on in previous times to break codes. For example, we know that the frequency analysis took long hours and many records of how many times any given letter occurred. The difference between this way of cracking codes and what is used today is extremely large. Now a days codes are so complex that they are solely through computers. As codes progress they seem to be getting more and more complex and technologically reliant. I am curious as to what will come next. I am also curious to find out exactly how we encrypt things today, because there is no doubt in my mind that the government will move onto another method soon and then we will hear about the methods that are being used at this exact moment.
What can we create that will progress our entire society and be used to keep top secret information hidden? I suppose this will be left up to the masterminds of our world today, and the rest of us will find out in 50 years when they no longer use the method. It never stops amazing me how much we dont know about our government and what systems they use.
