Possibly orthogonal, but Churchill's treatment of Blechley Park offers (offered) many examples of how not to tip one's hand. http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/news/docview.rhtm/497230/article.html His purposeful avoidance of tipping of his hand included erasing Blechley's history and achievments after the war so as to avoid having the Soviets realize that the UK was reading their cables, a story which is detailed in the recent book The Theory That Would Not Die, Sharon Bertsch McGrayne http://yalepress.yale.edu/book.asp?isbn=9780300169690 --dan _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
