My book, Mengamankan Data ala Agen Rahasia

Alhamdulillah, just before Eid ul Fitr, my 15th book is published. The title is "Mengamankan Data ala Agen Rahasia".

This book is covering about the way to secure our sensitive document using steganography and cryptography. So, our sensitive documents cannot be revealed or captured by someone else.

This technology (steganography and also cryptography) is already used since the ancient era. Since Julius Caesar, Hitler, etc.

The book consists of a lot of demonstration that you can practice with your own. Very simple demonstration to keep your document's secrecy.

So, if you are an agent like 007 agent, or if you are a diplomat, or if you are a high-rank goverment official, or if you are any body with very sensitive data, you -all- must read this book.

Okay, write down the title and go to the book store now ... :)

Here is The Decrypted Message

My last posting is giving you an encrypted message that might be a puzzle for you. The encrypted message is :

"L ORYH BRX UDPDGKDQ"

It is a secret message, so we have to reveal the message. Here is the decrypted message, the actual message:

"I LOVE YOU RAMADHAN"

The message is actually encrypted using a very simple algoritm called Caesar cipher which is created by Julius Caesar. The Caesar cipher works by replacing every character into the next three character. So if the letter 'A' in plain text would be replaced by 'D'. Very simple.

Well, that's all. I have something to do since today is (perhaps) the last day of Ramadhan 1430 H. Tomorrow would be Eed al Fitr 1430 H.

An Encrypted Message for You

When we are a child we like to play hide and seek. Hide and seek means 'Petak Umpet' in Indonesian. A child has to close his/her eyes while the others is running away looking for a place to hide. And then that child begins to seek their hiding friends. Oooh, it is so happy to play that game. Espesially when we can find our friends that is hiding in his/her secret place.... :)

Based on that game, I would like to give you a secret message. Who knows that you can find the real message behind it. This is an encrypted message for you all.

"L ORYH BRX UDPDGKDQ"

Next time, insya Allah, I will reveal the real message for you.... hehe. So this is the time for you to be 'a little confused'.

The picture above is a picture of Senapan Serbu SS-1 taken from http://www.wikipedia.org/. This gun is making a headline in nowadays newspaper in Indonesia. Created by PT Pindad, if I'm not mistaken it is under liscence from Belgia. Based on information from Wikipedia, this weapon is already used in conflict in East Timor, Aceh, and Papua.
