You'll never really know.I doubt it is the same person since unfortunately he got Alzheimer's disease and died in 2001.Claude Shannon was one of the world's biggest badasses, period.We owe him a great deal, for the philosophy that is used in practice on these forums and that is Shannon's maxim: The enemy knows the system. i.e. even if the DEA know how we function, or they understand the RSA algorithm, this should not be enough to shut us down. kmfkewm frequently mentions "security by obsurity" (as being a bad idea to depend on), which is based on the same idea.Respects. *salute*
