- Geheimschrift, Computer security, Cryptography, Databescherming
From the author who made "hacker" a household word comes a groundbreaking book about the most hotly debated subject of the digital age. *Crypto* concerns privacy in the information age and about the nerds and visionaries who, nearly 20 years ago, predicted that the Internet's greatest virtue--free access to information--was also its most perilous drawback: a possible end to privacy.
