If you 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 twenty-first century.

Levy's history of one of the most controversial and important topics of the digital age reads like the best futuristic fiction.
