A large number of enciphered documents survived from early modern
Hungary. This area was a particularly fertile territory where
cryptographic methods proliferated, because a large portion of the
population was living in the frontier zone, and participated (or
was forced to participate) in the network of the information flow.
A quantitative analysis of sixteenth-century to seventeenth-century
Hungarian ciphers (300 cipher keys and 1,600 partly or entirely
enciphered letters) reveals that besides the dominance of
diplomatic use of cryptography, there were many examples of
YprivateOE applications too. This book reconstructs the main
reasons and goals why historical actors chose to use ciphers in a
diplomatic letter, a military order, a diary or a private letter,
what they decided to encrypt, and how they perceived the dangers
threatening their messages.
