Forgetted anniversary - Affair of the failed arson of Lev Printery house in Ružomberok
1/ 🧵 On 27 March 1920, a bomb was found at a printing house in Ružomberok.
It was meant to burn the building down.
The Department of War's new post-quantum strategy requires military systems to adopt quantum-resistant encryption by 2031. Adversaries may already be collecting encrypted data to decrypt later.
Are organizations prepared for the post-quantum era?

of the mid-19th century.
I wrote about the discovery, the 1853 advertisement, the booklet itself, and what it tells us about cryptography, love, privacy, and everyday secrecy.

🔐 Secret writing for lovers and friends?
While researching encrypted messages in 19th-century German newspapers, I came across a small 1853 advertisement in Augsburger Tagblatt.
It advertised a booklet titled Die geheime Schrift — “The Secret Writing.”

This changes how we should search for historical cryptography.
Not every “Chiffre” in a newspaper is a cipher. Often it is just an anonymous ad reference.
But Nordeck’s booklet proves that a market for private secret writing really existed in the German-speaking world...

On This Day in Cryptology
On June 23, 1467, Leon Battista Alberti completed his manuscript describing the polyalphabetic cipher.
By shifting ciphers within a message, Alberti created a stronger method of protecting information and laid the groundwork for modern cryptography.

To help those interested in Second World War UK cryptology who wonder about the difference between an indicator and a discriminant, what forty-weepy might be, or what bonking and blogging meant at that time, I have compiled from original sources a glossary. (1/3)

No, she wasn't.
