Wow that is a lot of information and background. I forgot about the
old Crypt based off the WWII crypto device. Also the information on
the changes from when I dropped out of security in 1994 and 2004 was
very interesting. In general I have found that people end up saying
put 1-5 minutes per slide because of questions and asides. So this is
actually 3 different lectures packed into one. [Far past state,
present state, future state.] One thing I would have been interested
in was not as much the cryptographic speed ups as the guessing
speedups. Using the markov modes, smart guesses and even the way
incremental tries to find as many via various patterns is the what I
find intriguing as they are they are the techniques that will be used
against even super slow authentication methods for good results..
