  • "La 4e de couverture indique : "L'ouvrage explique comment les codes secrets ont été un outil indispensable dans les affaires d'ordre politique, diplomatique, militaire. Il nous montre aussi comment la guerre continuelle du codage et du décodage a entraîné des découvertes et des progrès multiples en linguistique, en mathématiques, et, pour finir, dans la mise au point des ordinateurs. Et surtout, il attire notre attention sur un enjeu capital de notre civilisation : à l'ère des satellites et de l'Internet, jamais la notion de cryptage n'a été aussi centrale dans la protection de la vie privée.""
