since development rotor cipher machines world war advent computers world war ii cryptography methods become increasingly complex applications varied.modern cryptography heavily based mathematical theory computer science practice cryptographic algorithms designed around computational hardness assumptions making algorithms hard break actual practice adversary.theoretically possible break welldesigned system infeasible actual practice so.schemes well designed therefore termed computationally secure theoretical advances e.g.improvements integer factorization algorithms faster computing technology require designs continually reevaluated necessary adapted.informationtheoretically secure schemes provably cannot broken even unlimited computing power onetime pad much difficult use practice best theoretically breakable computationally secure schemes.the growth cryptographic technology raised number legal issues information age.

historically ciphers often used directly encryption decryption without additional procedures authentication integrity checks.two main types cryptosystems symmetric asymmetric.symmetric systems ones known secret key encrypts decrypts message.data manipulation symmetric systems significantly faster asymetric systems.asymmetric systems use public key encrypt message related private key decrypt it.

modern examples steganography include use invisible ink microdots digital watermarks conceal information.in india yearold kamasutra vātsyāyana speaks two different kinds ciphers called kautiliyam mulavediya.kautiliyam cipher letter substitutions based phonetic relations vowels becoming consonants.mulavediya cipher alphabet consists pairing letters using reciprocal ones.in sassanid persia two secret scripts according muslim author ibn alnadim šāhdabīrīya literally kings script used official correspondence rāzsaharīya used communicate secret messages countries.david kahn notes codebreakers modern cryptology originated among arabs first people systematically document cryptanalytic methods.alkhalil – wrote book cryptographic messages contains first use permutations combinations list possible arabic words without vowels.ciphertexts produced classical cipher modern ciphers reveal statistical information plaintext information often used break cipher.discovery frequency analysis perhaps arab mathematician polymath alkindi also known alkindus th century nearly ciphers could broken informed attacker.

also invented probably first automatic cipher device wheel implemented partial realization invention.vigenère cipher polyalphabetic cipher encryption uses key word controls letter substitution depending letter key word used.midth century charles babbage showed vigenère cipher vulnerable kasiski examination first published ten years later friedrich kasiski.although frequency analysis powerful general technique many ciphers encryption still often effective practice many wouldbe cryptanalyst unaware technique.breaking message without using frequency analysis essentially required knowledge cipher used perhaps key involved thus making espionage bribery burglary defection etc.attractive approaches cryptanalytically uninformed.
