	Abraham Sinkov Information
		Sinkov, the son of immigrants from Russia, was born in Philadelphia, but grew up in Brooklyn.
		Sinkov taught in New York City schools but was unhappy with the working conditions and anxious to use his mathematics knowledge in practical ways.
		Abraham Sinkov lived in retirement in Arizona after two careers, 32 years in NSA (and its predecessors), followed by an appointment as a professor of mathematics at Arizona State University.

	Dr. Abraham Sinkov
		Later that month, two mathematics teachers from Brooklyn came to Washington to work as cryptanalysts, Abraham Sinkov and Solomon Kullback.
		Abraham Sinkov, the son of immigrants from Russia, was born in Philadelphia, but grew up in Brooklyn.
		In July 1942, Major Sinkov arrived in Melbourne as commander of the American detachment at CBB.

	Abraham Sinkov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In July 1942, by now Major Sinkov arrived in Melbourne as commander of the American detachment at CBB.
		The Director of CBB on paper was General Spencer B. Akin, MacArthur's chief signal officer, but General Akin in practice seldom visited the organization.
		Colonel Sinkov is a member of the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame.

	NSA Code Wizard Frank Rowlett Dies
		A Pennsylvania native, Abraham Sinkov graduated from the City College of New York in 1927.
		The new generation took on the challenges of electromechanical cipher machines and their efforts were especially fruitful against the enciphered messages of the expanding Japanese empire m the late 1930s.
		By this time, Abraham had left the Washington, D.C., area to head a signals intercept station in Panama, a locale of special importance due both to its ideal position for snaring cross-continental messages and to the strategic Panama Canal.

	Dr. Solomon Kullback
		He was followed by Abraham Sinkov of Brooklyn on April 10 and Solomon Kullback, also of Brooklyn, on April 21.
		Abraham Sinkov's "memoirs" were published in a recent issue of Cryptologic Quarterly.
		Kullback and Sinkov took Friedman's admonitions on education seriously and spent the next several years attending night classes; both received their doctorates in mathematics.

	Record: Guelker cryptology collection acquired
		One of those is Abraham Sinkov, one of the more legendary figures in cryptology annals.
		Sinkov was assigned to Bletchley Park in England, just northwest of London, where the British had their top-secret code-breaking facility.
		Sinkov and his American and British colleagues were assigned the heady task of breaking the German Enigma code.

	Sinkov statistic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sinkov statistics, also known as log-weight statistics, is a specialized field of statistics that was developed by Abraham Sinkov, while working for the small Signal Intelligence Service organization, the primary mission of which was to compile codes and ciphers for use by the U.S. Army.
		Sinkov did not explain the theoretical underpinnings of his statistics, or characterized its distribution, nor did he give a decision procedure for accepting or rejecting candidate plaintexts on the basis of their S
		The situation becomes more difficult when comparing strings of different lengths because Sinkov does not explain how the distribution of his statistics changes with length, especially when applied to higher-order grams.

		Before the war, he and l7 other military officers and their families studied the Japanese language in Tokyo for almost 3 years, he managed to get that group out of Tokyo before being detained by the Japanese military in August of l94l.
		He worked with or met with many of the preeminent codebreakers of the US military (William Friedman, Frank Rowlett, Joseph Rochefourt, Abraham Sinkov and others) during his almost five years as a cryptanalyst-Japanese translator during the war.
		Graduating from the US Naval Academy in l934, he also attended Ohio State University, getting a Masters and some of his doctoral work in Nuclear Physics before being called back by the Navy to attend the first A-H bomb tests in the Pacific.

	Elementary Cryptanalysis: A Mathematical Approach:0883856220:Sinkov, Abraham:eCampus.com
		Most people, acquainted with cryptology either through sensational cloak and dagger stories or through newspaper cryptograms, are not aware that many aspects of this art may be treated systematically, by means of some elementary mathematical concepts and methods.
		In this introduction, Professor Sinkov explains some of the fundamental techniques at the basis of cryptanalytic endeavor from which much more sophisticated techniques have evolved, especially since the advent of computers.
		The mathematical topics relevant in these discussions include modular arithmetic, a little number theory, some linear algebra of two dimensions with matrices, some combinatorics, and a little statistics.

	More on NSA 1933 Cryptographic System
		While I have no personal knowledge of the invention itself, there are several historical facts which may be of interest.
		The application date, 1933, was three years after Friedman hired three topnotch mathematicians into the new Signal Intelligence Service;--Frank Rowlett, Abraham Sinkov, and Solomon Kullback.
		This invention was one of several developed during this period, all of which were put under Patent Secrecy Orders.

		Friedman chose personnel who had a good background in mathematics and at least one foreign language - French, German, Spanish and, most importantly, Japanese.
		A high-school teacher from New York, Abraham Sinkov, filled the French spot; Solomon Kullback, a Brooklynite, the German spot; and John B. Hurt, a superb linguist, the Japanese spot.
		As tensions mounted in Asia, the Japanese sent their diplomatic messages in codes developed by an electromagnetic enciphering machine.

		In 1940, Canada had no cryptanalytic unit because Great Britain tried to keep its commonwealth partners away from codebreaking.
		But two mathematician members of the Canadian National Research Council went to Washington to meet with Abraham Sinkov and Joseph O. Mauborgne to explore what help might be available to establish a codebreaking bureau in Canada.
		Mauborgne refused to discuss his own cryptologic organization but recommended a person who might be able to organize a cryptanalytic bureau for Canada, Herbert O. Yardley.

	Viewpoint: Don't rely too much on Net encryption
		In 1938, the US crypt-analyst Abraham Sinkov described the then most modern machine ciphers as almost unbeatable.
		One of those machines was the Third Reich's Enigma; only two years after Sinkov's words it was being broken almost continuously, not by extraordinary new technology but by new ways of solving mathematical problems.
		Enigma was a modern cipher, not unlike DES, depending upon large numbers of combinations for its security.

		One of the things I enjoy most beside teaching and advising students is being the liaison to R-MWC's junior-year-abroad program at the University of Reading, England.
		One of my interests is cryptanalysis (akin to codebreaking) and I wrote several computer programs that were included as a supplement in the third printing of the book Elementary Cryptanalysis by Abraham Sinkov.
		I love to garden and enjoy the flowers and vegetables that result.
