This article is intended to inform the reader of the rich developmental history of cryptography beginning with its first rumblings in ancient Egypt almost four millennia ago, and proceeding to our modern day with the advent of public-key cryptography and its implications for modern life. This exposition was inspired by the author's latest two books [10]-[11].
