This overview of the various cryptographic algorithms is a chronological history of cryptology, whose origins date back to the days of antiquity and which over time has undergone steady refinement of its methods. Please note that this table is by no means complete.
The first human writing dates back more than 6000 years. Encryption has been in existence for around 3000 years.
| c. 1900 BC | Non standard symbols were used in old Egypt. |
| c. 1500 BC | The Phoenicians developed an alphabet. |
| c. 1000 BC | Non standard symbols were used in old Mesopotamia. |
| c. 600 BC | In Palestine texts have been encrypted with the simple monoalphabetic substitution cipher Atbash. |
| c. 500 BC | Spartans (Greeks) encrypted messages using Scytale. |
| c. 400 BC | The Kamasutra described a monoalphabetic substitution cipher. |
| c. 200 BC | The Greek historian Polybius described his Polybius system for the first time. |
| c. 100-44 BC | Julius Caesar wrote confidential messages in the code named after him, the Caesar code. This is the most well-known of all the mono-alphabetic algorithms. |
| c. 500-1400 AD | The "dark age of cryptography" began in Europe: During this period cryptography was considered as black magic art and a lot of knowledge was lost. By contrast cryptography flourished in the Persian world. |
| 855 AD | In the Arabic world the first book on cryptology appeared. Among other things, Abu 'Abd al-Raham al-Khahil ibn Ahmad ibn'Amr ibn Tammam al Farahidi al-Zadi al Yahamadi (Abu-Yusuf Ya’qub ibn Ishaq al-Kindi, called Al-Kindi) proudly described in his book the successful decryption of a Greek ciphertext that was intended for the Byzantine Emperor. His solution was based on frequency analysis and on known (correctly guessed) plaintext at the message start -- a standard cryptanalytic method, used even in WW-II against Enigma messages. |
| 1379 | When the pontifex Clement VII escaped to Avignion, he made his secretary Gabrieli di Lavinde (Parma) to develop a new code, which became the nomenclature code, a combination of substituting single letters of the alphabet and code words: He built a list of the most common words together with 2-letter substitutes. The words, that weren't on the list were encrypted with monoalphabetic substitution. Due to its simplicity this nomenclature code was used over the next 450 years especially in diplomatic circles. |
| 1412 | A 14-volume Arabic encyclopaedia also described cryptographic methods. Here, in addition to substitution and transposition, the method of repeated substitution applied to a plaintext character was mentioned the first time. |
| 15th century | Boom of cryptology in Italy because of highly developed diplomatic life. |
| 1466 | Leon Battista Alberti, one of the leading figures of the Italian Renaissance, published his book "Modus scribendi in ziferas", in which the cipher wheels invented by him were mentioned for the first time. He also published the first polyalphabetic cipher. Alberti was secretary of an official body concerned with cryptographs (ciphers) at the papal court in Rome. He is known as the "father of cryptography". |
| 1518 | The first printed book on cryptology titled "Polygraphia libri sex", written by the abbot Johannes Trithemius, appeared in the German-speaking world. He also described polyalphabetic ciphers in the now-standard form of rectangular substitution tables. |
| 1563 | Giovanni Battista Porta published "De Furtivis Literarum Notis", a book describing encryption methods and cryptanalysis. In it the first digraph substitution cipher is mentioned. |
| End of 16th century | France got the lead in cryptanalysis. |
| 1577 | The brilliant Flemish code breaker Van Marnix wrote European history by decrypting a Spanish letter, which contained the plan, to conquer England by sending Spanish troops from the Netherlands. |
| 1585 | The 600-page book "Tractié de Chiffre" by the French diplomat, Blaise de Vigenère, appeared. He discovered the first working polyalphabetic system with autokey, called "Le chiffre indéchiffrable". Later the weaker Vigenère code was named after him. This code is the most well-known of all the poly-alphabetic algorithms. The autokey idea survived today e.g. in the DES CBC and CFB modes. |
| 1586 | The Babington plot tried to kill the Queen Elisabeth I. of England and to replace her on the throne by Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland. Successful cryptanalysis by the "British secret service" enabled to get the six conspirators and to condemn Mary. Mary communicated via letters with her conspirators. The bearer of the messages was a spy of Elisabeth: He made exact copies of the letters and sent them to Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth's secretary of state. Walsingham engaged Thomas Phelippes, a cipher and language expert, to decrypt the messages. Successful decryption revealed the plot against Elisabeth. But Walsingham additionally wanted the identity of the conspirators: He made Phelippes forge a postscript, and Mary added the enciphered names of the conspirators in her answer. |
| 17th century | The era of the black chambers began. Most governments had their own department with professional code breakers, who systematically broke the used nomenclature codes. |
| 1623 | Sir Francis Bacon described a method of steganography: To encode a message each letter of the plain text is replaced by a group of five of the letters 'A' or 'B' interspersed into normal text with different typeface. This is a forerunner of what today is called a 5-bit binary encoding. |
| 1628 | Antoine Rissignol became the first full-time cryptanalyst being employed after his decryption of an hostile encoded message, which terminated the siege of Realmont by the Huguenots. Since then, cryptanalysts have always been a fixed element in military organizations. |
| 1700 | The Russian tsar used a big code table of 2000-3000 syllables and words to encrypt his messages. |
| 1795 | Thomas Jefferson developed the first cylindrical cipher device, known as the "wheel cipher". However, he never used it, so that it was forgotten, or rather never became public knowledge. This meant that cylindrical cipher devices were reinvented in a number of places in parallel. |
| 1854 | The English mathematics professor Charles Babbage invented a cylindrical cipher device, similar to the "wheel cipher". And he was the first to find a cryptanalytic way to break Vigenère's autokey cipher (the "unbreakable cipher" of the time) as well as the much weaker cipher that is called Vigenère cipher today: This did not become public until looking over his remains in the 20th century. |
| 19th century | Cryptology found its way into literature: A.C. Doyle, J. Verne, E.A. Poe. |
| 1854 | The English physicist, Charles Wheatstone, invented a cipher which worked with a 5*5 matrix. His friend, Lord Lyon Playfair, Baron of St. Andrews, made this public in military and diplomatic circles in Victorian England, and thus it became known as the Playfair cipher. |
| 1863 | Friedrich Kasiski (1805-1881), a Prussian major, developed statistical methods of cryptanalysis that were able to decrypt the "unbreakable" Vigenère cipher. |
| 1883 | "La Cryptographie militaire" by Auguste Kerckhoff von Nieuwendhoff appeared. This constituted a cryptographic milestone in the telegraph era. It contains the "principle of Kerckhoff", which requires to base the security of an encryption method only on the privacy of the key and not of the algorithm. |
| 1891 | The French major Etienne Bazeries invented a cylindrical device known as the Bazeries cylinder that was similar in principle to the wheel cipher. He published the design in 1901, after the French Army rejected it. |
| 1917 | The decryption of the Zimmermann telegram by the English secret service (room 40) prompted the critical entrance of the US at the side of the allies into World War I. |
| 1917 | The American, Gilbert S. Vernam, employee of AT&T, discovered and developed the one-time-pad, the only provably secure crypto system. |
| 1918 | The French cryptanalyst, Lieutenant Georges Painvin broke the ADFGVX cipher, which was put into service by the Germans near the end of World War I. This was a 2-step cipher which first performed a substitution (each letter was substitutes by a bigram through a keyed array), and then the bigrams were fractionated in columns and the columns transpositioned. |
| 1918 | Arthur Scherbius and Richard Ritter invented the first Enigma. At the same time the rotor cipher machine was invented and patented respectively by Alexander Koch (Netherlands) und Arvid Damm (Sweden). |
| 1920 | William F. Friedman (1891-1969), later to be honored as the father of US cryptanalysis, developed -- independently of Kasiski -- statistical methods for the cryptanalysis of the Vigenère cipher. |
| 1921 | The Californian Edward Hebern built the first cipher machine based on the rotor principle. |
| 1922 | Thomas Jefferson's wheel cipher was re-discovered in the US, further developed by the US Marines and was used during the Second World War. |
| 1923 | The Enigma rotor machine, developed by the German engineer Arthur Scherbius, was unveiled at the International Post Congress. The "Chiffriermaschinen AG" company was founded by Scherbius to market his Enigma around the world. |
| 1929 | Lester S. Hill published the article "Cryptography in an Algebraic Alphabet". The Hill cipher applied algebra (matrix multiplication) for encryption. |
| 1940 | Micro dots were used by German spies. |
| 1940 | Alan Turing broke the Enigma with the idea of his "bombs" building on work done by Marian Rejewski. |
| 1941 | The internal Japanese messages regarding the impending attack on Pearl Harbor was decrypted. This was due to the work of a team headed by William Frederick Friedman who broke the Japanese Purple machine. Many historians believe that cryptanalysis shortened Second World War II by one year. |
| 1948/1949 | Claude Shannon established the mathematical basis of information theory and published "Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems", where he also proved that all theoretically unbreakable ciphers must fulfill the same requirements as the one-time pad. |
| 1973 | David Elliott Bell and Len LaPadula developed the Bell-LaPadula model which formalizes the rules of access to classified information in order to achieve data confidentiality. |
| 1973-1975 | Ellis, Cocks and Williamson developed public-key encryption on behalf of the British government (GCHQ). This discovery was not publicly known until 1997. Because these methods were independently and publicly redeveloped again by Diffie, Hellman, Rivest, Shamir and Adleman, they were considered the discoverers of public-key cryptography. |
| 1975 | Diffie and Hellman described that public key procedures are theoretically possible, although they, in fact, set out to prove the opposite. |
| 1976 | Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman published the paper "New Directions in Cryptography". It introduced a radically new method of distributing cryptographic keys, which addressed one of the fundamental problems of cryptography, key distribution. This has become known as Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol. |
| 1977 | The DES (Data Encryption Standard) invented by IBM in 1975 was chosen by NIST (FIPS PUB-46) as the US standard encryption algorithm. |
| 1977 | The RSA algorithm, named after its developers, Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, was published. It was the first public key procedure used in practice and it ranks as the most innovative contribution of cryptologic research in the 20th century. |
| 1979 | The first ATMs (automatic teller machines) exploited DES in order to encrypt the PINs. |
| 1982 | The physician Richard Feynman developed the theoretical model of a quantum computer. |
| 1984 | Charles H. Bennett and Gilles Brassard described quantum cryptography (BB84 protocol). |
| 1985 | Goldwasser, Micali and Racoff unveiled the zero-knowledge procedure. |
| 1986 | Independently of each other, Neal Koblitz and Victor Miller proposed using elliptic curves for public key cryptography. |
| 1991 | Xueija Lai and James Massey developed the IDEA algorithm in Switzerland, which, for example, is used in the PGP cryptology software. |
| 1991 | DSA was chosen by NIST as the standard digital signature algorithm. |
| 1991 | PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) was developed by Phil Zimmermann as freeware and open source, in order to encrypt and exchange files highly securely. This was the first time that hybrid encryption (combination of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography) was applied within a program popular (even today) by end users. Main purpose was the encryption of email attachments (which later was covered too by the S/MIME standard). |
| 1994 | Peter Shor devised an algorithm to let quantum computers determine the factorization of large integers. This was the first interesting problem for which quantum computers promised a significant speed-up, and it therefore generated a lot of interest in quantum computers. |
| August 1994 | The encryption protocol SSL 1.0 was published by Netscape Communications -- only 9 months after the first release of Mosaic 1.0, the first popular web browser. Meanwhile, SSL encryption is supported by all popular web browsers. However, the transport protocol SSL (TLS) is not restricted to the application HTTPS. |
| October 1995 | S/MIME, a standard mechanism for secure email, was published as RFC 1847. In the meantime it is supported by all popular email clients. S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) described a consistent way to send and receive secure (signed and/or encrypted) emails. It is based on the popular Internet MIME standard. However, S/MIME is not restricted to mail. S/MIME and SSL are the mostly used cryptographic protocols in the internet. |
| July, 17, 1998 | The EFF's DES cracker (Deep Crack) broke a DES key with a known-plaintext attack in 56 hours (DES challenge 2 by RSA Laboratories). |
| January, 19, 1999 | Together, Deep Crack and distributed.net broke a DES key with a known-plaintext attack in 22 hours and 15 minutes (DES challenge 3 by RSA Laboratories). |
| October 2000 | After public competition lasting for 5 years, the algorithm Rijndael was chosen by NIST as the successor of DES and is now called AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). |
| From about 2000 | Weil Pairing was used for novel commitment schemes like IBE (identity based encryption, which turned out to be more interesting from a theoretical than from a practical point of view). |
| August 2004 | At the Crypto 2004 conference, Chinese researchers showed structural weaknesses in common hash functions (MD5, SHA), which make them vulnerable to practical collision attacks. These hash functions are still used in almost all cryptographic protocols. The Chinese researchers didn't publish all the details. |
| May 2005 | Jens Franke et al. factorized the 663 bit long number RSA-200. |
| April 2007 |
The wireless LAN encryption protocol WEP was broken by three researchers of the TU Darmstadt. Assuming enough data traffic in the network it takes only about two minutes to derive 95% of all used encryption keys. |
| August 2007 |
An algorithm to break the immobilizer system, used in millions of cars, was shown at the Crypto 2007 conference. During the presentation Eli Biham, Orr Dunkelman et al. could demonstrate an example where a corresponding car key was copied in 48 hours with the computing power of 50 PCs. |
| August 2007 |
The proprietary encryption algorithm A5/1, which is used by many GSM cellular carriers, was broken by David Hulton and Joshua Lackey. This implies that in affected mobile networks even the shortest voice calls or SMS messages can be easily encrypted by a normal PC, showing that "security by obscurity" is not a good approach. |
| December 2007 |
The authentification algorithm of the Mifare chip cards, which are used in thousands of applications by one billion issued cards, was broken. However the newest generation (Mifare DESFire), which uses DES/3-DES, is not affected. |
| December 2009 | Chris Paget and Karsten Nohl announce, that the A5/1 Cracking Project build the 2 terabyte time-memory tradeoff attack tables for A5/1. A5/1 is definitely broken now. |
| December 2009 |
Jens Franke et al. factorized the 768 bit long number RSA-768. |

Tay-K Reportedly Indicted for Murder of Man at Texas Chick-Fil-A
by VladTVAccording to reports, Tay-K has been indicted on a capital murder charge after being accused of shooting and killing man during a robbery that took place in April 2017.
Previously, Tay-K was convicted for another murder charge that got him 55 years in prison. Now, the rapper has to face what allegedly went down with the incident that occurred in a Chick-Fil-A parking lot. Tay-K allegedly robbed a man named Mark Anthony Saldivar for his camera equipment and killed the man after he hopped on the hood of the rapper’s car to stop Tay-K and other associates from getting away.
As a result of this incident, Tay-K fled and was wanted in a national manhunt. During that, he released the track “The Race,” and the video featured him posing with his wanted poster. Stay tuned for more details in the case.

Half the US population lives in poverty or is low-income, according to US Census data. However, compared to most developed nations, Americans remain less concerned about rising Economic Inequality.
A common measure of inequality is the Gini Coefficient, which indicates how incomes are distributed throughout the population. Gini Coefficient is primarily used to measure inequality in this study.
more...Economic (Income) inequality is the unequal distribution of household or individual income across the various participants in an economy. There has been a significant increase in economic inequality in America since the 1970s. Roughly more than 70% of the world's countries have more equal income distribution than the US.
A widening disparity exist between wages and productivity, which signifies a shift in GDP share from labor to capital. Possible theories include...
Low skilled American workers have been losing out to competion from low-wage workers from "Emerging" economies.
According to the skill-biased technological change theory income distribution favors high-skilled workers over low-skilled labor.
Modern technologies of communication handsomely rewards winners while leaving losers empty handed.
Skill-Bias: Has high tech been truly beneficial to all?
“The notion of ‘skill-bias’ —and the literature that has recently blossomed
around it—has introduced the theoretical possibility that technological
progress benefits only a sub-group of workers, placing technical change
also at the centerstage of the income distribution debate”
- Giovanni L. Violante
Skill biased technical change is defined as a shift in production technology that favors highly skilled or educated workers. Information technology leverages the abilities of a highly skilled worker to be exponentially more productive than unskilled worker, therefore increasing their demand. View Skill-Bias Word Cloud
A rise in the high tech industry in a given state positively correlates with economic inequality (per gini).
Economic inequality varies at the state level.
Big rises in economic inequality in the Maryland, Virginia & DC metro area corresponds with recent tech boom.
Case Study: Economic Inequality in California
Silicon Valley Tech Effect
The Gini coefficient (a measure of income inequality) for household income in the Bay Area was 48.7 in 2013. This is comparable to the Gini coefficient for the state as a whole (49.0) and greater than that of the entire United States (48.1) in 2013.
Counties in California that are largely dominated by tech industries (Santa Clara & San Mateo) versus those that are not (LA & Sonoma).
Santa Clara County is the headquarters for approximately 6500 high tech companies, including many of the largest tech companies in the world.
Los Angeles County is commonly associated with the entertainment industry; all six major film, LA is also known for international trade.
In San Mateo County innovation thrives in industries including bioscience, computer software, green technology, hospitality, financial management, health care, education and transportation.
About 80 percent of non-pasture agricultural land in Sonoma County is for growing wine grapes—58,280.4 acres. In 2006 the county grape harvest amounted to over 185,000 tons, exceeding Napa County's harvest by over 30 percent.
San Clara and San Mateo Counties had the highest gini coefficients leading up to '05
Santa Clara County has the largest % of high tech activity while playing host to some of the world's largest & most powerful tech firms.
With a slow increase in the tech sector, LA maintained a high gini coefficient through 2005
In viewing economic inequality through the looking glass of California, Skill-Biased technical change plays a major role. While many Americans agree that economic inequality is a big problem, most generally oppose the concept of wealth / income redistribution.
Understanding skill-bias is far reaching because policy makers could pursue initiatives that serve to lessen economic inequality. For instance, freely available online resources to build technical knowledge (e.g. Coursera, Big Data University, Udacity, edX, open.edu, Khan Academy et al) could be encouraged.
There exist no silver bullet to solve the challenge of Economic Inequality. However, development of technical knowledge through education is a good step in the right direction.

Karnataka Cuisine:
One of the oldest known Indian cuisines is from the picturesque state of Karnataka, Kannada cuisine is a felicity for a foodie. Like all other peninsular states of India, Karnataka is ahead in the use of rice in cooking, too. Bisibele Bhath, Avalakki, Chitranna, and Vaangi Bhath are a few rice preparations that the ‘Bhath’ lovers crave. A Kannada thali (Oota) consists of a variety of delicious items like Bajra/Jowar/Wheat Roti, Pickle, Palya, Gojju, Raita, Payasa, Thovve, Chitranna, Rice, and Ghee. Mysore Pak, Phenori, Unde, Belle Saru are some of the delectable sweets that Kannadigas love passionately.
The famous traditional south Indian breakfasts like idli, vada and masala dosa was invented in Karnataka in the temple streets of Udupi, which has now become the traditional South Indian food.
Described as the mildest in terms of spice content of the five southern states' cuisines, there is a generous use of jaggery, palm sugar and little use of chili powder however Northern Karnataka cuisine, which can be extremely hot, is an exception.
Since the percentage of vegetarians in Karnataka is higher than other southern states, vegetarian food enjoys widespread popularity.


AEW Rumors: Cody now owns his father Dusty Rhodes' ring name and trademark
by Karan BediIt looks like Cody Rhodes is ensuring that his father's legacy stays intact. According to 411Mania, Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Radio revealed that Cody Rhodes currently owns the name of his father Dusty Rhodes. Yesterday, it was also reported that Cody had filed to trademark "The Match Beyond", which was the name that described his father's creation, War Games, which WWE currently owns.
For the better part of the year, Cody Rhodes has trademarked old WCW PPV names such as "Bash At The Beach," "Battlebowl," and "Bunkhouse Stampede." Yesterday, it was reported that AEW Dynamite will be entitled Bash at the Beach on January 15, 2020.
Months ago, when it was reported that Cody was trademarking these old WCW PPVs, he noted that they were not all for AEW, but rather he wanted to reclaim some of his father's 'cattle' back.
The Legacy of Dusty Rhodes
There is no doubting that the legacy of Dusty Rhodes is unparalleled. He was a creative genius, journeyman, and knew what it took to get people to watch his matches. His gimmick as a working class man captivated a nation and his "Hard Times" promo still stands the test of time.
Why does Cody Rhodes own his father's ring name?
Dave Meltzer says that Cody wanted to write a book on his father when he first left WWE. He further speculates that the book could be on the back burner since his dual duties as a performer and executive take up most of his time. Meltzer also added that when Cody did want to do it, he couldn't at the time because WWE owned the name and trademark for Dusty Rhodes.
It's now a different story as Cody Rhodes could even turn his father's life story into a book or even a movie, since he now owns the rights. Now, that would be something. Who would make a good Dusty Rhodes? All that can be said is that Dusty Rhodes was incredibly unique and it would take someone special to play him.
We want to know what you think of the matches that you see on TV!

Panzanella is a great way to use up stale bread. It's made for warm summer days, when tomatoes are at their best. Serve with something simple like a beef carpaccio.
Blend most of the basil (reserving a few leaves for garnish) in a food processor with the oil and capers. (Alternatively, finely chop the basil and capers together by hand and stir into the oil).
Transfer half the herby caper oil to a bowl, add the sourdough and mix well.
Place the tomatoes, squeezing some of them to release their juice, in a large salad bowl along with the reserved seeds and juice. Mix with most of the olives and red onion, and some more olive oil. Add the sourdough, herb oil mixture and vinegar, and combine to make sure the bread is coated in all the juices.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter, layering the tomato slices, olives, onion and sourdough. Drizzle over the remaining herb oil and garnish with basil leaves and the remaining red onion and olives. Season again with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

This illustrates the geometry of the Möbius strip. We take a disc
with a blue line marked across it. We rotate the disc around the
$z$-axis. At the same time, the blue bar rotates within the disc
at half the speed. Thus, when the disc completes one turn around
the $z$-axis, the bar has only completed a half turn. In this
process, the blue bar sweeps out a Möbius strip.

previewTextureView
- the texture to display the preview inpreferredSize
- (optional) the preferred resolution for the preview. There is no grantee
that this size will be used. Camera3 take this preference into account
and pick a size form the list of available camera sizes. See Camera3.getAvailableImageSizes(String, int)
. If null
, the size
of previewTextureView
will be used.requestConfig
- an optional custom configuration for the preview request. This allows
you to specify custom attributes for the request like focus and
exposure. Defaults are given by CameraDevice.TEMPLATE_PREVIEW
.
If null
, the defaults are not altered. You should not specify a
target for the builder or build it. See
CaptureRequestConfiguration
for more information.previewSizeSelected
- an optional callback if you want to be notified when an actual
preview size is chosen (based on preferredSize
or the
size of previewTextureView
). This can be useful if you
want to adjust your UI (especially aspect ratio) accordingly.
Hint: if you are using AutoFitTextureView
, pass the
selected size to
AutoFitTextureView.setAspectRatio(int, int)
