The word cryptex is a neologism coined by the author Dan Brown for his novel The Da Vinci Code, denoting a portable vault used to hide secret messages. It is a combination of the words cryptology and codex; "an apt title for this device" since it uses "the science of cryptology to protect information written on the contained scroll or codex" (p. 199 of the novel) – although actually a "codex" is a term for early forms of what would now be called a "book", as opposed to a rolled "scroll". It is claimed in the novel that the original design came from the secret diaries of Leonardo da Vinci; but this is apparently not based on fact; the 2004 illustrated version of the novel fails to present any Leonardo sketch of such a device. http://mattechnology.blogspot.com/2015/11/cryptex-from-leonardo-da-vinci.html https://www.leonardo3.net/leonardo/home-brown_eng.htm Size : 50.3 x 160 x 50 mm This project can be produced by FDM.
