What is Cryptography?

Cryptography is the science and art of secret/hidden writing, named after Greek word kruptos, which means ‘hidden’ and kruptein, means ‘to hide’. And we all know about the ‘graphy’ that this suffix used for any process/method or study, just like

History of Cryptography with Egyptian, Spartans and Julius Caesar.

There are few evidences that represents the use of Cryptography by Egyptian civilizations. Check out following images

Rosetta Stone: Egyptian Cryptography

Above image is of a piece of Rosetta stone – A large stone with hieroglyphic text.

Now as some of the researchers do not agree with usage of Cryptography in Egyptian time, rather they think that it may be their way of normal communication. After denial of Egyptians as the first cryptographers, next is Spartans (I know what you are thinking! 300 ).

Spartans have invented a device called Spartan Scytale (image below),
kind of conical (Cone shaped) baton (thick rod) with some exact dimensions.

However, one of the well-known name associated with cryptography is, Julius Caesar (below photo), known for his simplest encryption algorithm named after him, Caesar Cipher.

Facebook Buys Something Big :   Taylor Hatmaker expects some big moves from social giant, Facebook. At least one really big deal as they are trying to make up for lost time on monetization and mobile. And it may be some ad platform. (Lets hope competition with Adsense will change the quality and service for bloggers, web masters and online publishers.)

Twitter may get a rival : App.net, Branch and Medium would be able enough to attract the people attention spans beyond the mental claustropobia of 140-character micro-thoughts. Google+ have not that much great impact as of now but as Google patiently plays the long game there are chances for Google+ to make deep impression.

Issue of Mobile Security: Fredric Paul says that mobile security would be the most important and crucial thing in 2013 as no one has really taken it seriously till now. And as massive security issues are popping out now and then, it may change the way people use their devices.

Apple influences the Enterprise : Seismic changes in Microsoft latest OS Windows, problems supporting Windows RT and lackluster Windows tablets will make enterprises adopts Apple devices and large amount of units. Microsoft won’t be totally grounded but it will make company defensive again after a year of rise.
