| Sumario: | We offer in this paper an example of the possibilities of Cryptography, as a branch of Applied Mathematics, to cover pleasantly and fruitfully many essential questions of Education. And when we say Education we want to highlight its broader and moreextensive semantics, so necessary and so longed for many times today, without losing the necessary precision of especialization, grouping in this study issues related to areas such as Mathematics, Communications Security, Literature, Linguistics, or Classical Languages. For this purpose, we have relied on a famous literary work by the great French writer JulesG. Verne, “Journey to the Center of the Earth”. Based solely on the enigmatic message that appears at the beginning of the novel we offer the solution in detail and by cryptanalytic means, showing step by step the various approaches to generally resolve an unknown text. Finally, this example helps us to detail some fundamental elements of Algebra andCommunication Theory that are typical of Cryptology. |
