Book ID/图书代码： 04331213B62167
English Summary/英文概要： Solving riddles and piecing together puzzles has fascinated and entertained us for thousands of years and with the recent phenomenonal successes of Sudoku and The Da Vinci Code, codes and puzzles look set to remain a part of everyone’s life –
whether as a fiendish part of newspaper appeal or to protect state secrets and the lives of millions Most tantalizing is the allure of the unsolved codes.
The ancient Phaistos code was only cracked in 1980, but there are many more hailed as unbreakable – the magnificent Dorabella and Beale Ciphers, the Voynich manuscript – so we have created the Codebreaker challenge: to break an unbroken code.
Cryptographers are assuming increasing significance in the modern age – in war, national security, crime fighting, and commerce, the new information age has given an even greater demand for personal security and secrecy that only the new
generation of codemakers can create. But are we sure the battle is won?
Codebreaker looks to the future of code and asks, “Will we find the security we so desperately seek?”
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 解谜语和拼拼图几千年来一直让人们迷醉其中，而今数独游戏和达芬奇密码大获成功，我们终于意识到代码和拼图似乎已经与每个人的生活息息相关。报纸上有趣的游戏吸引着人们的眼球，但那些可以保护国家和亿万生命，还未破解的代码才是密码破解者们关注的焦点。
古代菲斯特斯代码只在1980年被破解过一次，还有许多其他的代码被誉为不可破解，例如神奇的多尔贝拉和比尔密码，还有伏尼契手稿，这便成了密码破解者面临的挑战——破解不可破解的密码。
在当今社会，密码学家变得越来越重要，战争，国家安全，抵制犯罪，商业，个人隐私等，新时代里到处都有他们的用武之地，只有新一代的密码学家才能保障我们的秘密不被人窥探。
《密码破解者》对未来发出了诘问，我们能找到我们日益渴求的安全吗？（XAT）
