The document traces the history of cryptography from 1900 BC when early cyphers were used in ancient Egypt through the 1800s. Key developments include the ancient Greek invention of the scytale in 742 BC to send military messages, Julius Caesar's use of a shift cypher system in around 50 BC, the creation of the first substitution cypher called the Alberti Cypher in 1467 in Italy, and Thomas Jefferson's invention of a wooden cylinder cipher in 1797. The document shows that encryption techniques have evolved significantly over millennia to securely transmit confidential information.
