Egyptian cryptographers

ID: egyptian-cryptographers

Egyptian cryptographers refers to individuals or systems involved in the study and practice of cryptography in ancient Egypt. While the ancient Egyptians did not have cryptography in the modern sense, they did use forms of writing and symbols to secure messages and communicate privately. The most notable aspects of their writing systems, such as hieroglyphs, could be seen as early forms of cryptographic writing in that they could be esoteric and not easily understood by those not trained in reading them.
