Interviews
You’ve heard what we had to say, now it’s time for you to hear what 3 prominent yet diverse individuals in the field of cryptography have to say! Let them give you a perception into what they do, how they look at cryptography and what they think matters.
We interviewed three eminent personalities – Philip Zimmermann, David Kahn and Joshua Holden.
Philip Zimmermann is a well known professional in the field of cryptography; he is the creator of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). He had run into trouble with the Government when he first released PGP and he talks about his experiences creating PGP, cryptography’s current relevance as well as future prospects.
Joshua Holden is a professor in the mathematics department of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Indiana. He did a comparison of courses where he taught one cryptography course from a technical angle for mathematics majors at Rose-Hulman Institute, and the other from a social angle at Dukes University. He talks about the social aspect of cryptography and his opinions, as an educationist. This interview aims at providing the overall picture of cryptography.
David Kahn is an expert in cryptography, political military and communications intelligence. He has authored several books, articles and publications on ciphers and American intelligence. We interviewed him about cryptography and its history. He gave us in depth insight into events during the World Wars relating to cryptography that changed the course of history.
A professional. An educationist. And a historian. Three diverse views, three different approaches. Explore to know what it feels like to take a walk in their shoes for a while!
