Review title: Hopeless attempt at articulating the science of Cryptography
Product review: This book has so many holes in the plot line, it will make you cringe if you know anything about Cryptography, software programming, or network security. The perceived hacker attacks that Dan Brown orchestrates are plain dumb.Setting aside all that, his characters are also hard to relate to. The cheif of the NSA Cryptography who spent all his life working hard to get to where he is now, is willing to give up everything in an instant for a woman by murdering her fiance?. Even more unbelievalbe is that this character choses for a password that girl's name. Common! Head of NSA Crypto, uses the name of someone he knows as his password? They teach a secretary at a paper factory not to do that.After reading both Angels & Demons and Digital Fortress, I find a pattern that attributes the catastrophic failure of a great man to a crush on the hot, smart girl who is in love with someone else. I wonder if this stems from personal experience.
