	Cryptography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Associated fields are steganography — the study of hiding the very existence of a message, and not necessarily the contents of the message itself (for example, microdots, or invisible ink) — and traffic analysis, which is the analysis of patterns of communication in order to learn secret information.
		A cryptanalyst might appear to be the natural adversary of a cryptographer, and to an extent this is true: one can view this contest all through the history of cryptography.
		It is well that much progress has been made in a short time; popular applications such as the Internet and mobile phones have repositioned cryptography, historically the sole province of a few groups with exceptional needs for secrecy, into a mainstream technology on which millions rely.

	List of cryptographers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elizebeth Friedman, US, wife of William F, and cryptographer in her own right for the Coast Guard, Treasury Department, and assorted other US Government agencies in the 1920s and 1930s.
		Cryptography and genetics director at the Riverbank Laboratories before WWI, wrote extensively on cryptographic theory and practice, and became the US Army's chief (and for some time only) cryptographer, patented several cryptography related inventions some of which are still secret 60+ years later, including some aspects of the SIGABA machine.
		WW II), proved the one-time pad to be unbreakable, founded and invented/developed information theory and major aspects of communication theory, one of the principal developers of the theory of error-correcting codes (with Richard Hamming), made major advances in logic circuit design in his Master's thesis.

		For our purposes, a cryptographer is someone who is active in the field of cryptography: someone who engages in research, writes papers, breaks algorithms and protocols, and sometimes writes his own algorithms and protocols.
		A cryptographer can find work as a university professor, but some large companies -- AT&T, IBM -- employ full-time cryptographers, and there are some cryptographers that work as consultants to companies that don't have full-time cryptographers on their staffs.
		Cryptographers need broad knowledge of mathematics; this is the only way that new connections are made and really original ideas are found.

		Each cryptographer then states aloud whether the two coins he can see--the one he flipped and the one his left-hand neighbor flipped--fell on the same side or on different sides.
		In case (2) the coins he sees are different; if both other cryptographers said "different," then the payer is closest to the coin that is the same as the hidden coin; if both said "same," then the payer is closest to the coin that differs from the hidden coin.
		They devise a way to do this at the table for a statement of arbitrary length: the basic protocol is repeated over and over; when one cryptographer wishes to make a message public, he merely begins inverting his statements in those rounds corresponding to 1 's in a binary coded version of his message.

	Expressing Security Protocol Goals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The cryptographers would like to know whether it is one of them who is paying, or whether it is their organization that is paying; but they also wish to retain anonymity concerning the identity of the payer if it is one of them.
		If a cryptographer is not paying then she will say that they agree if the results on the coins are the same, and that they disagree if the results differ; a paying cryptographer will say the opposite.
		The protocol is modelled in CSP as the parallel combination of cryptographers and coins, and a master process dictating who pays, as illustrated in Figure 3.10.

	Leone Battista Alberti - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In it he proposed new methods of fortification which became the standard defense for towns in the age of gunpowder, and dominated siege planning for hundreds of years.
		Alberti was an accomplished cryptographer by the standard of his day, and invented both polyalphabetic ciphers and machine-assisted encryption using his cipher disk.
		The polyalphabetic cipher was, at least in principle, for it was not properly used for several hundred years, the most signifcant advance in cryptography since before Julius Caesar's time.

	The Dining Cryptographers Problem
		Each cryptographer flips an unbiased coin behind his menu, between him and the cryptographer on his right, so that only the two of them can see the outcome.
		They devise a way to do this at the table for a statement of arbitrary length: the basic protocol is repeated over and over; when one cryptographer wishes to make a message public, he merely begins inverting his statements in those rounds corresponding to 1's in a binary coded version of his message.
		Another possibility is for a pair to establish a short key and use a cryptographic pseudorandom-sequence generator to expand it as needed.

	Trucking News - Cryptographer: Biometric readers far from foolproof
		But a Japanese cryptographer has discovered that the process is far from foolproof.
		Cryptographer Tsutomu Matsumoto, whose technique has been described in several technical journals, lifted a fingerprint from a common object — such as a drinking glass — for his demonstration.
		Using a computer, a digital camera and a circuit board, he transferred the print to the gelatin, and then molded it onto a fingertip.

		A cryptographer can find work as a university professor, but some large companies -- ATandT, IBM -- employ full-time cryptographers, and there are some cryptographers that work as consultants to companies that don't have full-time cryptographers on their staffs.
		In 1996, a group of cryptographers (including myself) researched the various technologies one could use to build brute-force cryptanalytic machines, and recommended a minimal key length of 90 bits to provide security through 2016.
		This means that even though the algorithm is given a cryptographic key with 64 bits of entropy, it only makes use of 40 bits of entropy in the key.

		It might be the case that exactly one of the cryptographers is instructed by his company to pay for all of them, but anonimity of this company must be guaranteed.
		The cryptographers decide to run the following protocol: - Each cryptographer throuws a coin behind his menucard.
		If the coins are equal and the cryptographer is not instructed to pay for all, or if the coins are not equal and the cryptographer is instruced to pay for all, the cryptographer shouts EQUAL.

	Paragon Software's CryptoGrapher
		CryptoGrapher is a low-level system device driver that protects removable Storage Cards by password encrypting the stored information, thereby rendering the data unreadable to anybody who does not possess both the software and password.
		All file access to and from the Storage Card passes through CryptoGrapher enabling the whole process to be entirely transparent to the applications reading and writing the data.
		On the other hand, if you use your device heavily and keep a lot of confidential information stored for easy reference, then this application could be considered priceless if that same information is of genuine use to somebody else.

	The Legend of Poe the Cryptographer
		Poe was no master cryptographer, but rather a legendary magician who disguised tricks of tale with the cipher of slick and distracting presentation.
		Upon review of Poe's cryptographic endeavors, it appears that the he never entertained any cryptography more sophisticated than simple substitution.
		As to Legrand the cryptographer, when asked if he solved the cipher leading to Kidd's treasure, the character replies, "Readily; I have solved others of an abstruseness ten thousand times greater" (Poe 63).

		This was a significant accomplishment because the RSA public-key cryptosystem relies on the inability to factor such a number, and Lenstra's team was able to do so in less than seven months, suggesting this approach was not as secure as had been believed.
		In addition, Lenstra co-authored the influential paper "Selecting Cryptographic Key Sizes," which offered guidelines for determining key sizes for cryptosystems based on a set of explicitly formulated hypotheses and data points about the cryptosystems.
		Lenstra also developed an information security risk assessment methodology for the company, and he was responsible for the cryptographic design of Sprocket, a digital content delivery system that was patented by Citibank.
