I copied this page from Wikibooks Cryptography. It needs work but I think it is more likely to get attention in wikipedia and I think it has a legit place there. I did not edit the content for the first posting so we would have a history trail. I plan to remove some purely computing items (e.g. Deep Blue). Here are some items that I think should be added:

  • Jefferson wheel cipher
  • Zimmermann telegram
  • Washington Naval Conference
  • American Black Chamber (book)
  • William Friedman (various dates)
  • Pearl harbor
  • Midway
  • Assassination of Admiral Yamaoto
  • Founding of NSA
  • RSA
  • RSA challenge factored
  • PGP
  • 1996 Relaxation of export controls
  • Netscape random number flaw
  • DeCSS/Universal v. Remerdez
  • RC4 published
  • NSA SHA1
  • NSA DSA
  • AES selected
  • WEP crack/FBI demo
  • MD5 crack
  • DMCA
  • Walker spy ring
  • SIGABA patent filed
  • KL-7 intro/retirement
  • STU-III intro
  • Schor paper on quantum RSA attack

I'll be adding items to the article as I get dates, but help and additions are, of course, welcome --agr 03:13, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
