"How three amateurs cracked a 445-year-old code to reveal Mary Queen of Scots’ secrets
For centuries, a trove of letters lay unidentified in an archive. Then a patents expert, a music professor and a software engineer set to work."

He and his colleagues decoded over 50 letters, and proved that Mary wrote them during her 19 years of imprisonment.

It's an excellent, historically true story about the life and MANY important achievements of Elizabeth Smith Friedman, who broke codes and defeated enemy spies in World War I and World War II. It's an engaging listen and a fascinating window into the early cryptographic world.
It's also yet another of those bits of history that was almost lost because, sigh, it was about a woman. And because Hoover and the FBI took credit for some critical things she her husband did at the Coast Guard. It's really heartening to see these stories being brought out. The research work that is apparent in the telling is really awesome.

Codebreakers deciphered century-old letters stored for centuries in French archives and discover they were written of Mary, Queen of Scots. It turns out she was "well-trained in the art of cipher by her mother, Marie de Guise, from a very young age."
My Ars colleague @jenlucpiquant spins a fascinating tale that nicely blends #history and #cryptology.

In this talk, I'll cover the evolution from when I first contributed to #GnuPG with the NIST curves until my recent proposal to support the #jq255 curves.

Pretty cool when one of your teaching assistants back in your university days solves a 500 year old problem.
Big props to Cécile Pierrot from Inria Nancy!

No break from breaking code. Remote work from the park like it's 1930s, pairing with Marian Rejewski, the Enigma codebreaker, in his hometown.
