Author Ralph Simpson will discuss over 2000 years of cipher evolution, starting with Julius Caesar and continuing to today with modern public key cryptography. Throughout human history, militaries of the world have succeeded or failed based on the security of their communications. Mr. Simpson will join us to explain the role of cryptology in that history, what it is, and how it has impacted the world. This is your chance to not only learn about this fascinating subject but you will also have the opportunity to see and touch a captured German Enigma Machine from World War II.
