Reading Digital Fortress

Its about cryptography and Dan Brown has proposed a confusing concept call rotating cleartext. Yet to get the full measure of it.

There is a great machine at one of the intelligence agencies of US. It applies brute force cracking of all encryption algorithms till a programmer writes a algorithm that perpetually mutates the text based on a time variant. He names it Digital Fortress. Now, terrorists can safely pass the information using this algo. Whoz gonna save the world?

It still has the punch of Dan Brown but I think Da Vinci code was more natural to him.
