I am currently presenting a TV series for Channel 4
in Britain, entitled The Science of Secrecy. It airs on
Thursday nights at either 9.00 or 9.30pm until November
2. The final programme includes an exclusive interview
with Clifford Cocks, the secret co-inventor of RSA. This is
the first time that a British Government cryptographer has
been permitted to talk about his work. Details of the series
can be found on the Channel 4 website
The series is accompanied by a book entitled The
Science of Secrecy. Please note, this is an adaptation of
The Code Book, and so it will not be of interest to
anybody who has already read The Code Book. It has
the advantage of following the series more closely and
contains more illustrations. Hence, I would certainly
recommend it to anybody who has not read The Code
Book, and who wants to learn more about cryptography
having watched the TV series.
I hope that the TV series will be shown overseas, but as
yet there are no plans to do this.
