Publisher's Synopsis

Why do some cryptographic systems fail and others succeed? Stephen Kelley explores this fundamental question of cryptology by examining the history of three of the most renowned cipher systems of World War II - the German Enigma, the Japanese PURPLE, and the American SIGABA/ECM - to understand why the first two were broken by the allies and last remained unbroken.
