Goals, Discussion We present here an overview of historical aspects of classical cipher systems. Our objective is to give the reader a panoramic view of how the fundamental ideas and important developments fit together. This overview does not pretend to be exhaustive but gives a rough time line of development of the milestones leading to modern cryptographic techniques. The reader interested in a complete historical review is advised to consult the definitive treatise by Kahn [Kah67].
