I did like it - A good book to get people interested in Ciphers and cryptography - it has a lot of the history of cryptography. The part about Mary Queen of Scots made me laugh though as I did that last year in History and all the things I was told then were disproved
 I even understood the quantum theory at the end (note the signature). Which both me and my dad where impressed at. In my opinion - I think that the NSA has already made a quantum computer - but can't or won't release the information about it - as they know that they will have to work twice as hard to decrypt everybody's messages once we all switch to something like quantum criptography. Even if they haven't yet I don't think that they will release the knowledge to the rest of the world until they have worked out how to decipher quantum ciphers. Cows |

Everything is possible, The impossible just takes longer If we do not know what a particle is doing then it is allowed t do everything possible simultaneously. "Anyone who can contemplate Quantum Mechanics without getting dizzy, didn't understand it." | |
