Codes vs. Ciphers

Elonka and Klaus discuss the fascinating world of code breaking, highlighting the distinction between codes and ciphers. Codes rely on a code book for translation, while ciphers use a one-to-one letter substitution, making them more adaptable yet easier to crack. Klaus shares his perspective as a journalist interested in the history behind these cryptographic methods, emphasizing the blend of expertise and curiosity within the code-breaking community.
