Code Book, The: All About Unbreakable Codes and How to Use Them
Marotta, Michael. 1987, 3rd edition (Currently out of print). 106 pages.
Categories: Programming |
Published by Loompanics Unlimited, the same publisher that brought you titles such as "Job
Opportunities in the Black Market", "How to Launder Money", "Surviving in Prison", and "Indoor
Marijuana Horticulture". This book, for its time and audience, was actually surprisingly well
researched. The paranoid author (who admits to inserting logic bombs in his software, and getting
fired for reading co-worker files) would have you believe that you can create unbreakable codes
on your home TSR80 or Commodore 64. BASIC source code examples are included, but they mostly
demonstrate means of generating (not so) random numbers for creating (statistically biased)
one time pads.
