Books on cryptography - Early history
An early example of a book about cryptography was a Roman work, now lost and known only by references. Many of the early works on cryptography were esoteric, mystical, and reputation-promoting; cryptography being mysterious, there was much opportunity for such things. At least one work by Trithemius was put on the Index (ie, banned) by the Catholic Church as being about black magic or witchcraft. Many writers claimed to have invented unbreakable ciphers. None were, though it sometimes took a long while to establish this.
In the 19th century, the general standard improved somewhat (eg, works by Auguste Kerckhoffs, Friedrich Kasiski, and Étienne Bazeries). Colonel Parker Hitt and William Friedman in the early 20th century also wrote books on cryptography. These authors, and others, mostly abandoned any mystical or magical tone.
