The Cybersecurity Canon is a list of must-read books for all cybersecurity practitioners. This year, the committee nominated a book that is well worthy of inclusion: Crypto: How the Code Rebels Beat the Government Saving Privacy in the Digital Age (2001) by Steven Levy. The book spans a timeframe from the 1970s through the 1990s when these issues gained broad public visibility. It also explores the human side of data privacy by following the persistent, idiosyncratic and brilliant characters that created and commercialized the technology.”]
