Art History

The art of code—code making and code breaking—remains shrouded in mystery and seems filed away in the realms of military intelligence, spies, and secret services. Yet codes affect virtually every area of our lives, providing security, protecting identity, and enabling us to connect via the Internet across global boundaries. Codes, however big, small, and complex hold an important part of our history and our future into the unknown.
