From an electrifying new voice in suspense fiction comes Digital Fortress, a lightning-paced thriller that U.S. intelligence analysts are calling “utterly plausible.”
Chillingly current and filled with more intelligence secrets than Tom Clancy, Digital Fortress transports the reader deep within the most powerful intelligence organization on earth–the National Security Agency (NSA)–an ultra-secret, multi-billion dollar agency which (until now) less than three percent of Americans knew existed.
When the NSA’s most classified technological wonder–an invincible code-breaking machine–encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls in its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant and beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power.
The NSA is being held hostage… not by guns or bombs, but by a code so ingeniously complex that if released it will cripple U.S. intelligence.
Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Susan Fletcher battles to save the agency she …

The NSA is being held hostage… not by guns or bombs, but by a code so ingeniously complex that if released it will cripple U.S. intelligence.
Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Susan Fletcher battles to save the agency she believes in. Betrayed on all sides she finds herself fighting not only for her country, but for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.
With a startling twist that leaves the agency scrambling to avert the biggest intelligence disaster in U.S. history, Digital Fortress never lets up. From the underground hallways of power, to the skyscrapers of Tokyo, to the towering cathedrals of Spain, a desperate race unfolds.
It is a battle for survival — a crucial bid to destroy a creation of inconceivable genius… an impregnable code-writing formula that threatens to obliterate the balance of power. Forever. ([source][1])
Review of 'La Fortaleza Digital / Digital Fortress' on 'Goodreads'

This was a very entertaining read. I'm in the computer business since a long time, and this is an older story. All the references to the old computers (and old days) really talked to me and made me smile.
I think Mr Brown did a great job writing about all this while also creating an intriguing story.
The end was most surprising. The book is a prime candidate for anyone who loves big computers and puzzles. Sincerely.

This book made me yell more than once. Dan, my dear, crypto doesn't work that way. Really. Not. And I'm very much annoyed, because I still wanted to know what happens, because suspense, you can write. But it wouldn't have been that much harder for your book to be readable by people who have some basic (really, basic) notions of crypto. Very annoying. And all of this to yell the answer to the final enigma 15 pages before the people who are supposed to be living gods actually find it. The book's premise is that NSA can decrypt everything they can intercept, except that some guy claims that he found an unbreakable algorithm. Problem is, the technical elements of the story are so bad that the whole thing breaks down. Kind of a waste, because otherwise it would probably be quite a nice thriller. Grmbl.

What Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons must feel like for history scholars. If you are even slightly familiar with the technological concepts in this book it is incredibly painful to read.

My favourite from Dan Brown's work. Perhaps because of my focus on computers and security :) I liked that he got more-less all things right without being too technical.

Again this is one of the books that made me like computers even more.
Read during my school days and this only added more fuel to my passion for computer networks and security.

Tempted to tag this as fantasy but I'll let it go. This book challenged my ability to suspend disbelief beyond its limit.
