Just look at the people on the routing list!

  Hendrick Bode (Bode Plot)

  Harry Nyquest (Nyquist Frequency)

  Barney Oliver (pulse-code modulation & founded HP labs)

  John Pierce (Pierce Oscillator & science fiction)

  Ralph Hartley (Hartley transform!)

  Walter Shewhart (Statistical quality control / Shewhart cycle)
  
  It was my honor to have met several of these people in sometimes odd circumstances.

Hey Cliff! We haven't met, but I'm the proud owner of a Klein Bottle (and a couple "Portraits of Gauss"!) :-)

Thanks for reading! Some of these great innovators will be making an appearance in Evervault Papers in the near future. Stay tuned!

Yikes! There's no hiding around here!

I'm happy to see developers looking at security as pervasive: "everything encrypted" is important since an intruder may be inside the system. Or as Shannon wrote in this paper, "assume the enemy knows the system being used." (He then writes about the importance of key selection.)

Warm wishes - Cliff

Not with that user name there isn't :-)
