SCYTALE Group name is inspired by scytale (/ˈskɪtəliː/, rhymes approximately with Italy; also transliterated skytale, Greek σκυτάλη· “baton”) is a tool used to perform a transposition cipher, consisting of a cylinder with a strip of parchment wound around it on which is written a message. The ancient Greeks, and the Spartans in particular, are said to have used this cipher to communicate during military campaigns.
Computer Engineering & Informatics Dept. (CEID) is essentially the leading part in the field of Computer Technology, Informatics and Communications in Hellas. In a short time, developed into one of the best University Departments, with a large number of candidates every year.
