BEST OF THE BEST

Codes have always been deeply interwoven into the very fabric of our human existence. 

We bear witness to them in our daily lives - as different dialects and languages, the codes we use to automate the world around us, and even in the codes we use to prevent others from the privy of sensitive information. 

For as long as there has been the need to communicate, codes have been the mechanism used to do so. 

So without further ado, OMNITEKK presents our Best Of The Best edition in CODES...

... Happy Coding.

CAESAR SHIFT -  Invented by Julius Caesar himself as a means of communication during periods of war and possible threat.

The Caesar Shift was introduced as a means of passing along confidential messages without the possibility of decoding.

It worked by shifting the letters within the alphabet a few paces, either left or right while using a primary key code as the radial mechanism within the shift.

HIEROGLYPHIC CODES -  Are visual depictions carved in stone, papyrus and other scribe material by ancient civilizations such as the Mayans and Egyptians, as a means of recording historical events within their tribes. 

Over the years, an array of archaeologists and scientists alike, have spent many a days in quest of decoding the meaning of hieroglyphic art.

MORSE CODE - Was used by our nation's Military Intelligence during the Civil War, as a means of communicating in secret with ally troops. 

The series of dashes and dots that make up the -"language",  allowed our defense squad to pass along sensitive information without the threat of enemy decoding.

PUBLIC KEY CRYPTOGRAPHY - Encoding and Decoding sensitive as well as insensitive information from prying eyes, is at the base of Public Key Encryption methods, such as RSA encryptions, that use public and private key encoding  and decoding of messages, as a means of keeping sensitive information safe.

LEONARDO DA VINCI'S MONA LISA - This famous painting is said to contain an array of discrete numbers and letters once serving as communication channels to Da Vinci's allies, for decoding to uncover sensitive information. 

And while our folks certainly haven't verified the veracity of such a claim, there's no denying the superbity that the Mona Lisa is a true work of art indeed.

We sure hope you've enjoyed our journey down CODES lane, and until our next I.T. adventure my friends, OMNITEKK says be well.
