After 12 months of intense development, the interactive CD-ROM version of The Code Book is now available. I might be biased, but I think that it is brilliant. Don't be confused by the ridiculously low price, because this CD-ROM contains tons of fascinating and dynamic material, including:

                1. Encryption tools,
                2. Code breaking tools,
                3. Coded messages to crack,
                4. Material for teachers, e.g., worksheets,
                5. A realistic, virtual Enigma cipher machine,
                6. A beginner's cryptography tutorial,
                7. A history of codes from 1000BC to 2000AD,
                8. Material for junior codebreakers,
                9. An animated section on quantum cryptography,
              10. Sections on public key crypto & RSA.

The CD-ROM is ideal for teenagers, parents who want to encourage an interest in science and mathematics in their children, grown-ups interested in the history of cryptography, amateur codebreakers and anybody who wants to know about encryption in the Information Age.

The CD-ROM is compatible with PC computers, but not Macs.

"It is a fascinating CD-ROM, and I can see how
one could get obsessed with the subject!"

The aim of the project was to create an interactive version of The Code Book, so that readers could encrypt, break codes and see how the Enigma machine really works.

However, it soon became clear that the CD-ROM had a huge potential for getting young people interested in mathematics. The reaction from teachers was terrific. That is the reason that the cost of the CD-ROM is so low, and doubly low for schools. I am hoping that the CD-ROM will be used extensively by teachers in Britain and around the world.

At the same time, the CD-ROM has lots of stuff for grown-ups. Also, businesses have purchased it in bulk to distribute to employees and conference delegates.
