Rossignols
The Rossignols, a family of French cryptographers and cryptanalysts, included:
- Antoine Rossignol (1600–1682)
- ' Bonaventure Rossignol'
- ' Antoine-Bonaventure Rossignol'
The family name meant " nightingale" in French. As early as 1406 the word rossignol has served as the French term for " skeleton key" or for any tool which opens that which is locked.
