Just a moment ago, 1:30 pm to be exact I am done
reading the book entitled digital fortress by Daniel Brown.
The feeling was quite remarkable, I must say. 
As of this time, I am currently in the course of readings about cryptology, the study of secret messages. Honestly, I am quite enjoying the new knowledge that I am gaining because of this readings.
Digital Fortress in the story is what the programmer (Ensie Tankado) had called it as an
“Unbreakable algorithm” of encrypted codes that cannot be decrypted by TRANSLATR or any brute force attack. He then
affords to blackmail the NSA to reveal the truth about the TRANSLATR, a machine that could decrypt all intercepted encrypted files/messages from the common people which would definitely be a clear evidence of violating one individual’s privacy. In the story the fight for what they called individual privacy was being highlighted. TRANSLATR in the story was the most high-tech ever created machine that could decrypt encrypted algorithms in just few minutes, but not digital fortress; an algorithm, series of codes consisting of a mutation of Strings.
Though the story is fictional, with the technology we have now and a recipe of brilliant ideas from programmers and mathematician, digital fortress is not far impossible.
