If you've ever made a secure purchase with your credit card
over the Internet, then you have seen cryptography, or
"crypto", in action. From Stephen Levy—the author who
made "hackers" a household word—comes this account of a
revolution that is already affecting every citizen in the
twenty-first century. Crypto tells the inside story
of how a group of "crypto rebels"—nerds and visionaries
turned freedom fighters—teamed up with corporate interests
to beat Big Brother and ensure our privacy on the Internet.
Levy's history of one of the most controversial and
important topics of the digital age reads like the best
futuristic fiction.
