	“It’s a fascinating CD-ROM and I can see how one could get obsessed with the subject!” Sir Arthur C. Clarke

“I am one of the teachers of a Cryptography and Computer Security course in a Grade on Informatics Engineering. We have been using The Code Book on CD-ROM for some of our cryptography sessions for some years and we think the material is amazing and we have seen that the motivation created in the students and their learning is great, thanks to the extraordinary quality of the cd-rom. It is really amazing and the impact on students is awesome.”
Ana Isabel González-Tablas Ferreres, Associate Professor, University Carlos III de Madrid


	“I enjoyed your Code Book CD-ROM, as did my little girl, it was exceptionally well done.” Angus McLellan


	“I have been using The Code Book on CD-ROM for 7 or 8 years. Thanks again for a great bit of software.” Ian MacAndie - Maths Teacher

The Code Book on CD-ROM is an interactive version of Simon Singh's best-selling book The Code Book. It includes a wealth of material including video clips from Simon Singh's channel 4 television series 'The Science of Secrecy' plus other clips filmed specifically for the CD-ROM. Text from the book is presented in easily digested chunks that are illustrated with video clips, computer generated animations and interactive tools and demonstrations. The interactive tools enable messages to be encrypted using all the ciphers discussed in the book.

Most impressive of all is the full Enigma Machine emulator. Other tools assist with the cracking of encrypted messages using techniques such as frequency analysis. There are also numerous puzzles and encrypted messages to be cracked. The CD-ROM presents a fascinating subject in a very hands-on format, so that anyone can try out the encryption and cracking methods described in the text, but with the computer doing any tedious analysis that might be necessary. The CD-ROM makes full use of the potential of multimedia to communicate technical ideas.
