Since the book was written in 1998, some of the "state-of-the art" technology is now commonplace. But the story is still exciting, and full of surprises through the end. A fun, entertaining read. (  ) kerrwjpk | Nov 27, 2009 |  Good thing I bought my copy at the Thrift store. On page 23 you find out the Commander has a thing for his golden girl. No surprise when he sends her professor boyfriend on a mission he plans will be the death of him. Page 85 graphically gives away the pass-key. The only reason to finish the book is to find out what the boyfriend meant by "without wax." Could have Googled for that. The book was copywrited in 1998 but must have been written a good deal earlier if Mr. Brown thought people didn't know about the NSA or use better security than this on their own job. When was the last time you were allowed to use a password that wasn't a minimum of 6 alpha-numeric characters with a combination of upper and lower case letters? Who hires someone that hates your agency and then lets him come in on the weekend unsupervised? This plot is way to simple for someone who devoured all the Sherlock Holmes books in grade school instead of the easy readers they call YA books now. (  )1  glitrbug | Nov 14, 2009 | Les personnages ont une épaisseur psychologique de la taille d'un papier à cigarette. On trouvera certainement plus profond dans la collection Harlequin. Dan Brown ne maîtrise pas son sujet en ce qui concerne l'informatique et la cryptologie. C'est aussi crédible que ces films où les ordinateurs explosent pour montrer qu'ils ne fonctionnent pas. L'intrigue est faible et l'idéologie nauséabonde. Tout est mauvais la dedans il n'y a rien à sauver. Mon appréciation à 1/2 étoile est due à l'impossibilité de mettre des notes négatives dans Library Thing (  ) yannrosko | Nov 13, 2009 | What a load of cobblers…NSA expert fails to see connection between N Dakota and ...

| Descrição do livro |
|
In this case, the secret formula is a new means of encryption, capable of changing the balance of international power. Part of the fun is that the book takes the reader along into an understanding of encryption technologies. You'll find yourself better understanding the political battles over such real-life technologies as the Clipper Chip and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) software even though the book looks at the issues through the eyes of fiction.
Although there's enough globehopping in this book for James Bond, the real battleground is cyberspace, because that's where the "bomb" (or rather, the new encryption algorithm) will explode. Yes, there are a few flaws in the plot if you look too closely, but the cleverness and the sheer fun of it all more than make up for them. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and a lot of high, gee-whiz-level information about encryption, code breaking, and the role they play in international politics. Set aside the whole afternoon and evening for it and have finger food on hand for supper--you may want to read this one straight through.
