520    A large number of enciphered documents survived from early
       modern Hungary. This area was a particularly fertile 
       territory where cryptographic methods proliferated, 
       because a large portion of the population was living in 
       the frontier zone, and participated (or was forced to 
       participate) in the network of the information flow. A 
       quantitative analysis of sixteenth-century to seventeenth-
       century Hungarian ciphers (300 cipher keys and 1,600 
       partly or entirely enciphered letters) reveals that 
       besides the dominance of diplomatic use of cryptography, 
       there were many examples of?private? applications too. 
       This book reconstructs the main reasons and goals why 
       historical actors chose to use ciphers in a diplomatic 
       letter, a military order, a diary or a private letter, 
       what they decided to encrypt, and how they perceived the 
       dangers threatening their messages.
