WiCyS San Diego Affiliate | Book club meet-up and discussion: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography.

May 31 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join us for our very first in-person book club meetup, as we dive into the fascinating world of cryptography through the pages of The Code Book by Simon Singh. This book takes us on a historical journey of secret codes, starting in ancient times and leading up to modern quantum encryption. From Caesar Ciphers to World War II codebreakers to the future of cybersecurity, the story connects deeply with the work we do and aspire to do in the cybersecurity field.

Why this book?
As stakeholders in cybersecurity, understanding the roots and evolution of encryption is not only inspiring but essential. Singh’s storytelling helps clarify complex topics, making them engaging and relevant for readers at any level.

What to expect:
• An open and welcoming discussion about the themes and lessons from the book
• Insights on how historical events shape today’s cybersecurity practices
• Sharing thoughts on how this ties into our own journeys in cyber and tech
• A chance to connect, learn, and grow together as a community.
