Codes and Code Breaking

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

This course introduces students to the history and methods of cryptanalysis and code breaking. These methods were honed through fierce competitions where secure and secret communications carried life-and-death stakes. The tools developed in this environment formed the foundations of modern linguistics, mathematics and computer science. By understanding these methods and their relationships, we can better understand the systems shaping the world today.
