Ancient scholars understood substitution cyphers and used them to send messages that only the intended recipient might read. However, the turning point for cryptology came with advancements in mathematics available in the 19th century, leading to the military cyphers used in World War I and the mechanical encryption machines, like Enigma, widely used in World War II. The complexity of these devices and the importance of using cryptanalysis to break these codes lead to the first programmable computers. Today we’re looking at a powerful encryption tool designed to secure files inside an impenetrable bubble of mathematics that only a person with the correct password can access.
