Cyberwars
Bletchley Park is set to make history once again by inviting top analytical minds to work and study at the legendary location. Things are a little different today though. The world they are preparing a new generation of cybersecurity codebreakers has changed remarkably since the second world world war …The sprawling Buckinghamshire estate populated by decaying huts is famous for having played a crucial role in the Allied Forces’ fight against Hitler. The wartime base for the Government Code and Cypher School (GCHQ) was deliberately chosen because it had good transport links to Oxford and Cambridge universities, whose brightest students it recruited.Its most famous alumnus is the mathematician Alan Turing, whose invention of the Bombe machine proved so crucial in decrypting the Enigma code, and is credited with shortening the war by two years and saving countless lives. Turing sadly died at the age of 41, decades before his work – and that of Bletchley more widely (dubbed ‘the best kept secret in Britain’) – was revealed in all its heroic glory to the public.
