Guest Lecture, due on September 7

The lecture wasn't all that difficult to understand, considering most of the techniques of cryptography used by people in the early days of the church were fairly simple.  Though I was really glad to finally see what the actual code names used in those certain sections of the D&C were.  I have wondered about that for years.  I also had never heard of the Deseret alphabet, which I think is a very interesting fact about church history.  I think overall the lecture just helped me to understand that in any group or culture where secrecy of information is needed, cryptography will be useful.
