Editorial Review Product Description The author, Bengt Beckman, for many years was the head of the cryptanalysis department of the Swedish signal intelligence agency. In writing this book, he made extensive use of its archives. He also interviewed many people who participated in the Swedish wartime intelligence effort. He describes in detail Beurling's attack on the G-Schreiber system as well as attacks on several other wartime crypto systems, noting high points from the history of Swedish cryptology. The book will appeal to a broad audience of readers, from historians and biography buffs to mathematicians to anyone with a passing interest in cryptology and cryptanalysis. This English edition has been translated by Kjell-Ove Widman, Director of Sweden's Mittag-Leffler Insitute. Also on cryptography and available from the AMS is "Cryptography: An Introduction." |

Editorial Review Product Description Als im Jahre 1940 ein schwedischer Mathematiker die Verschlüsselung für die deutsche strategische Militärkommunikation knackte, war dies eine der größten Errungenschaften in der Geschichte der Kryptologie. Die fachlich präzise Geschichte dieses Ereignisses kann mit allen Bestandteilen eines klassischen Thrillers aufwarten: Eine verzweifelte Kriegssituation, ein launischer, heimlich tuender und gleichzeitig genialer Mathematiker mit einer besonderen Begabung für die Kryptologie, und eine atemberaubende mathematische Heldentat, die bis heute mysteriös bleibt. Es war Arne Beurling, der Erbe des Büros von Einstein am Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, der in einem entscheidenden Moment der Weltgeschichte die Hauptrolle in diesem Thriller spielte. Viel Persönliches fließt dabei ein, und verleiht dem Buch einen ganz besonderen Charme. Der Autor, Bengt Beckman, war über viele Jahre der Direktor des Bereichs für Kryptoanalyse von Försvarets Radioanstalt, der Regierungsbehörde für Entschlüsselung in Schweden. Er hat ein Buch geschaffen, das unabhängig von der mathematischen Vorbildung ein Genuss ist für alle Leser: Für Historiker wie auch Biographie-Begeisterte, Mathematiker und Leser, deren Interesse an der Kryptologie durch Bücher wie die von Singh oder Beutelspacher geweckt wurde. |

Editorial Review Product Description Durante la II guerra mondiale hanno avuto luogo numerosi risultati di rilievo nel campo della crittografia militare. Uno dei meno conosciuti è quello usato dal servizio di intelligence svedese, nei confronti del codice tedesco per le comunicazioni strategiche con i comandi dei paesi occupati nel nord Europa, le cui linee passavano per la Svezia. In tal modo, durante la fase più critica della guerra la direzione politica e militare svedese era in grado di seguire i piani e le disposizioni dei Tedeschi, venendo a conoscenza dei più arditi progetti per modificare la propria politica, tenendo la Svezia fuori dalla guerra. La violazione del codice tedesco è narrata in dettaglio, per la prima volta, con elementi che gli permettono di essere un’ottima introduzione al campo della crittografia, oltre che un ritratto vitale e umano della società del tempo: una disperata condizione bellica, l'intrigo politico e spionistico, il genio del matematico Arne Beurling, le difficoltà e i trucchi del mestiere, e il lavoro sistematico e oscuro di una folla di decrittatori. |
