- 详述通信保密史并提供宝贵的操作安全教训
- 生动讲述恩尼格玛机等加密破译背后的数学家
- 历史故事极其丰富详实，兼具趣味性与专业度
David Kahn 的这部著作很可能是关于 codes 与 ciphers、cryptography 以及 cryptanalysis 有史以来最著名且最详尽的史书。它涵盖了从古代直到现今密写术的发展与应用。对于任何对这一迷人领域感兴趣的人来说，这都是一部必读之作。

说真的，一份更好的书单是 Tom 本人列的：http://www.amazon.com/lm/R2EN4JTQOCHNBA/ref=cm_lm_pthnk_view... 我推荐还要加上：David Kahn 写的 http://www.amazon.com/The-Codebreakers-Comprehensive-Communi...。里面讲了整个保密通信历史中的很多故事，包括 op-sec 方面的教训、密码更换不够频繁、‘他们绝对不可能破解这个’等等。…
Really a better list is by tom his own self: http://www.amazon.com/lm/R2EN4JTQOCHNBA/ref=cm_lm_pthnk_view... My recommendations would add: http://www.amazon.com/The-Codebreakers-Comprehensive-Communi... by David Kahn. Many stories of the whole history of secret communications, with lessons in op-sec, not changing the codes frequently enough, they can't possibly break this. The…
David Kahn 写的《The Codebreakers: The Comprehensive History of Secret Communication》[0] 可能是这个领域里最棒的一本书。不过提个醒，很多人书架上都有它，但因为篇幅实在太长，真正读完的人寥寥无几……
The Codebreakers: The Comprehensive History of Secret Communication[0] by David Kahn is probably the best book in this area. Be warned it sits on many bookshelves but due to its length few are the number that have finished…
http://www.amazon.com/The-Codebreakers-Comprehensive-Communi... 挺不错的一本书，讲了 Enigma 背后的密码学原理以及其他加密方式。读起来很有趣。
http://www.amazon.com/The-Codebreakers-Comprehensive-Communi... A good read about the crypto behind the Enigmia and other encryption approaches. A fun read.
……网站：https://www.nand2tetris.org。写得非常好，一个有动力的高中生都能搞定。Singh 写的《The Code Book》（https://www.amazon.com/Code-Book-Science-Secrecy-Cryptograph...）以及 Kahn 写的《The Codebreakers》（https://www.amazon.com/Codebreakers-Comprehensive-History-Co...）。我小时候就一直对密码这类东西很感兴趣，所以在高中/大学时发现这两本书就立刻吸引了我……
…site: https://www.nand2tetris.org. It's well-written, and a motivated high schooler could work through it. The Code Book by Singh (https://www.amazon.com/Code-Book-Science-Secrecy-Cryptograph...) The Codebreakers by Kahn (https://www.amazon.com/Codebreakers-Comprehensive-History-Co...) I was always interested in ciphers and such as a kid so those two books got my attention when I found them in high school/college.…
……Martin Gardner 写的任何书都行。我碰巧买过《Mathematical Magic Show》和《Mathematical Circus》，但我敢肯定还有很多别的文集。我也推荐密码学相关的内容。David Kahn 的《The Codebreakers》算不上一本严格意义上的数学书，但它棒极了，而且主角都是数学家，Simon Singh 的《The Code Book》也是如此。你也可以读读 Schneier 的《Applied Cryptography》。这里可是 HN，要是不提一嘴我就失职了……
…Anything by Martin Gardner. I happen to have picked up Mathematical Magic Show and Mathematical Circus, but I'm sure there are many other collections. I also recommend cryptography stuff. David Kahn's The Codebreakers is not really a math book, but it is awesome and it stars mathematicians, as does Simon Singh's The Code Book. You could read Schneier's Applied Cryptography. This is HN, so I would be remiss if I didn't…
……这挽救了许多盟军士兵的生命，甚至可能扭转了战争的走向。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_(cryptography) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra David Kahn 的书《The Codebreakers》是一本很好的密码学入门读物，里面包含了大量这方面的历史。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Codebreakers
…This saved the lives of many Allied solders and, perhaps, tipped the balance of the war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_(cryptography) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra David Kahn's book, the Codebreakers, is a good introduction to cryptography and has a lot of this history in it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Codebreakers
