Quotes About Cryptography

A block chain is a series of blocks. Each block is a series of computations done by computers all over the world using serious cryptography in a way that's very hard to undo.

Manuel Blum, who many people consider the father of cryptography [encryption, etc.].

An unbreakable code is a mathematical impossibility! He knows that!

Biggleman's Safe was a hypothetical cryptography scenario in which a safe builder wrote blueprints for an unbreakable safe. He wanted to keep the blueprints a secret, so he built the safe and locked the blueprints inside.

She knew the computer's processors auditioned thirty million keys per second – one hundred billion per hour. If TRANSLTR was still counting, that meant the key had to be enormous – over ten billion digits long.

There are only one or two repeats in the whole book. So that got me thinking polyalphabetic substitution.

It uses twenty-six substitution ciphers," he told her. "One for each letter of the alphabet. But the problem is that it requires a keyword to solve.

Cryptographers are professional paranoids

There were possibly three or at most four persons" in the whole United States who knew the slightest thing about codes

Cryptography is the essential building block of independence for organisations on the Internet, just like armies are the essential building blocks of states, because otherwise one state just takes over another.

Cryptology is a game of decoding. But it doesn't require high intellect to unravel what the less educated have encoded.

soon as a culture has reached a certain level, probably measured largely by its literacy, cryptography appears spontaneously—as

For almost a thousand years, from before 500 to 1400, the cryptology of Western civilization stagnated.

The only writer of the Middle Ages to describe cryptography instead of just using it was Roger Bacon, the English monk of startlingly modern speculations. In his Epistle on the Secret Works of Art and the Nullity of Magic, written about the middle of the 1200s

But of any science of cryptanalysis, there was nothing. Only cryptography existed. And therefore cryptology, which involves both cryptography and cryptanalysis, had not yet come into being so far

Extremist sects in Islam cultivated cryptography to conceal their writings from the orthodox.

The Arabic knowledge of cryptography was fully set forth in the section on cryptology in the Subh al-a 'sha, an enormous, 14-volume encyclopedia

Analyzing the frequency and contacts of letters is the most universal, most basic of cryptanalytic procedures.

When cryptography is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl.

The Rail Fence Cipher Suppose

Cryptography and security engineers need to know more than how current cryptographic protocols work; they need to know how to use cryptography.

Some saw cryptography as a great technological equalizer, a mathematical tool that would put the lowliest privacy-seeking individual on the same footing as the greatest national intelligence agencies.

Even though cryptography is only a small part of the security system, it is a very critical part. Cryptography is the part that has to provide access to some people but not to others. This is very tricky.

Cryptography takes on the role of the lock: it has to distinguish between "good" access and "bad" access. This is much more difficult than just keeping everybody out.
