Cryptography is one of the cryptology disciplines dedicated to protecting messages (ensuring confidentiality and / or authenticity) that two people wish to share through an insecure channel, often with the help of secrets or keys.

The history of cryptography is already long. We report its use in Egypt 4,000 years ago. However, for centuries, the methods used had often remained very primitive. On the other hand, its implementation was limited to the needs of the army and diplomacy. Thus, the methods of encryption and cryptanalysis (the code case) experienced a very important development during the Second World War and had a profound influence on the course of it.
