British cryptography

British cryptography refers to the field of secure communication developed and advanced by the United Kingdom, notably during World War II with efforts like Bletchley Park. It involves creating and breaking codes to protect sensitive information. Techniques include complex mathematical algorithms and early computers that encode messages so only authorized parties can read them. British cryptographers played a pivotal role in deciphering enemy signals, significantly impacting the war’s outcome. Today, it continues to evolve, underpinning digital security, online privacy, and data protection globally.
