Vice President abruptly hit out over spymaster’s problem-solving method

Usage examples of algorithm.

To TRANSLTR all codes looked identical, regardless of which algorithm wrote them.

The algorithm generates a key it thinks is secure, and TRANSLTR keeps guessing until it finds it.

Because brute-force computers broke codes by examining cleartext for identifiable word patterns, Harne proposed an encryption algorithm that, in addition to encrypting, shifted decrypted cleartext over a time variant.

Without revealing his algorithm, he had proven to the NSA that it was unbreakable.

Digital Fortress could be nothing more than a generic, public-domain algorithm, and none of these companies could break it.

An algorithm that resists brute force will never become obsolete, no matter how powerful code-breaking computers get.

Then it probably would embed the algorithm in a tamper-proof chip, and within five years every computer would come preloaded with a Digital Fortress chip.

The existence of an unbreakable algorithm was a concept she was still struggling to grasp.

Now, incredibly, some unsuspecting Canadian tourist held the key to the most powerful encryption algorithm in history.

Numataka could embed the algorithm in tamper-proof, spray-sealed VSLI chips and mass market them to world computer manufacturers, governments, industries, and perhaps, even the darker markets .

Crypto team, led by Commander Strathmore, created an algorithm they christened Skipjack.

They reported that it was a strong, untainted algorithm and would make a superb encryption standard.

Everyone knows an unbreakable algorithm is a mathematical impossibility.

Digital Fortress algorithm was not wise, regardless of how interesting it would be.

As you can imagine, I was shocked when I first read his messages to North Dakota about an unbreakable algorithm called Digital Fortress.
