Alan Turing was a British mathematician who changed the course of history during The Second World Wardeciphering the German cipher machine called Puzzle. To solve this problem, he used technology to overcome technology by creating a code-breaking machine.

In doing so, he created Electromechanical pumpor only pump who broke the Enigma encryption, allowing the whereabouts of German submarine and other sensitive information that changes the course of the war. It is worth recalling that in the film, Turing’s story was adapted for cinemas. The imitation gamestarring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Genevieve Grotyan received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and was hired as a cryptanalyst during World War II. William Friedman who worked with his team to decipher purple japanese code. The team has been working on this for several months, but little progress has been made.

The British gave up trying to break the code, but in September 20, 1940Grotjan succeeded. woman noticed repetitions and cycles what others missed, what made it possible decipher messages.

ABOUT vigenère code was created in 1553 and set itself a task that used 26 cipher alphabets. Everyone who knew him considered him indestructible until 1853, when Charles Babbage British cryptographer managed to solve it.

Babbage noticed repeats in numbers which were translated into repetitions in the text, being able to understand the size of each word. Babbage never published his study of the code, which meant that five years later, Friedrich Kasiski deciphered the “Vigenère” and published his work, which became known as the Kasiski Examination.

In the 60s zodiac killer terrorized parts of San Francisco. His identity and the final number of victims are still established. secretbut part of the case is settled. The killer after making his victim sent cards to the local newspaper or call.

After he made his last known sacrifice, he sent cryptogram For Chronicle of San Francisco. Puzzle with 340 characters stayed with FBI and several other teams trying to crack it. IN December 2020 an international team was able to unravel and find transposition which helps to understand the code rule and rearrange the letters.

Edgar Allan Poe has always been a fan of riddles and would invite his readers to solve some of them, which, according to him, were sent Mr. W. B. Tyler. But two such riddles which were published in 1839 years passed with no response.

IN 1992, Terence Whalen deciphered the first code revealing the text 1713 called Cato. After that, a prize was offered to the one who solved the second and in 2000 Gil Broza it has been achieved. He realized that they polyalphabetic ciphers and in doing so he found errors and deciphered the text.

During 16th century, Spain and France. they were rivals who maintained constant tension. Charles VKing of Spain, always on the lookout for his rival Francis Iwhich made Charles exchange some secret messages with the French ambassador Jean de Saint Maurice. These secret letters were kept and remained unread for many years because they were written in code.

But Cecile Pierrot together with his team managed to decipher one of these letters in 2022. The letter contained an accusation that plans against the life of Charles V and despite the fact that not many details bothered the monarch. After decrypting the code, it is quite possible that the content of other letters will be revealed.

ABOUT Voynich manuscript was found in 1912 and contained images women, plants and zodiac symbols. For many years people tried to decipher what was written, but only in 2017 What Nicholas Gibbs managed to understand what was present in the manuscript.

IN 1978 excavations in Greece revealed many scriptures, including a call to Linear B. When it was discovered, no one could read it until Michael Ventris managed to understand the code in 1950.

Using statistical analysis and understanding the relationship between the signals, Ventris deciphered the code and showed it John Chadwick. Together they finalized what was written and published everything in 1953.
