The names of Alan Turing and the Enigma encryption machine have grown inextricably linked over time, owing to Turing's contribution to British decryption efforts during World War II. It's fitting, therefore, to see one of the few surviving Enigma machine
"He was the biggest coward and the most courageous artist," says the director Milos Forman of Francisco Goya. The Spanish painter is the subject of Forman's new film Goya's Ghosts (his first since Man on the Moon with Jim Carrey more than seven years ago).Macnab, Geoffrey...
Developed in 1977, RSA is based on the use of large prime numbers for encryption and decryption. RSA’s strength comes from the difficulty of factoring large composite numbers. This property makes it computationally infeasible for an attacker to derive the private key from the public key. RSA ...
It was there that mathematician Alan Turing decoded messages encrypted by the Nazis' Enigma machine, in particular those sent by German U-boats submarines in the North Atlantic.Enigma cypherswere used by the Germans during World War II to scramble military communications and intelligence, to such a...
With their distinctive blend of psychedelic and progressive rock, they quickly developed a unique and influential sound. However, it was under Waters's creative direction in the mid-70s that the band released some of its most acclaimed work, including the concept albums The Dark...
Enigma code, a cipher used by the Germans to protect their messages. A brilliant mathematician, Alan Turing led this team alongside his colleague Gordon Welchman. The team developed their version of the Bombe Machine, which the Poles invented initially, but the machine needed to be more ...
MURDER IS INthe air. Everywhere I turn, I see images of a robot killing machine. Then I remind myself where I actually am: in a library lecture room on a college campus in East Texas. The air is a little musty with the smell of old books, and a middle-aged woman with wavy gray-...
The characterisation of Hardy is similarly a triumph, a far more complex character that one seems to think when first introduced to him, the most developed (more so than Ramanujan himself and that is without seeing glimpses of his personal life really) and therefore the most interesting. Really...
The analytical engine is the great-great-great-great-grandfather of the machines we think of today as computers. Everything from a Mac to an iPhone can trace its history to the analytical engine. Around the same time that Babbage developed the analytical engine, the world found it...
