The history of breaking teletype codes fills an important gap in the history of World War II, illustrating along the way the development of technology from the Victorian Internet to the digital civilization.

The history of breaking teletype ciphers was one of the last secrets of World War II, declassified only in the 21st century. To date, there has been no summary combining the scattered threads found in the literature. This book is a synthesis of the available knowledge on the breaking of teletype ciphers--illustrating their development, theoretical foundations, technical aspects of encryption machines and devices used to attack ciphers. In addition, it explores the challenges faced by cryptologists on both sides of the conflict--as well as their responses to these challenges, which brought them to the threshold of building a modern digital civilization and enabled them to cross it shortly after the end of the conflict.
