Abstract

This paper deals with the tidings of cryptography in history, how it has played a vital role in World War -1, World War-2. It also deals with the Substitution, Transposition Cryptographic techniques and Steganography principles which can be used to maintain the confidentiality of computerized and none computerized information files.
