Ciphers
docproc2630.pdf (8.863Mb)Abstract
Experience has shown and the point is forcibly expressed
by Yves Gylden, in his "'The Contributions of the Cryptographic
Bureaus in the World War", that at leatst an elementary knowledge
of cryptanalysis is prerequisite to intelligent cryptography.
Those who are responsible for the promulgation of our
codes and ciphers, as well as for the promulgation of instructions
for their use, are infinitely better equipped to meet
their responsibilities if, by a knowledge of cryptanalysis,
they are able to consider their work from the point of view
of the adversary who will attack our codes and ciphers.
