First edition of this work on modern cryptography, focusing on the tension between private innovators and government authorities. Octavo, original publisher’s half cloth. Boldly signed by Steven Levy on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Nancy Resnick.

Levy argues that the triumph of independent cryptographers in making encryption widely accessible was a victory for privacy and civil liberties. The book provides a compelling narrative on the intersection of technology, policy, and individual rights in the digital era.
