Cover
Cover of the book (designed by Irena Wölle) contains crypto
sardine, a new species sardina cryptographicus,
discovered by Alex Stewart in Rui Mendez. In fact it is
an implementation of RSA crypto algorithm in Perl
programming language, which looks like a sardine (on a
cover it is set upright). If you type this code in Perl
and run it, you can see, that the program is actually
working!
