RE: A Special Conjecture “Unbreakable Encryption”: John Nash's Letter to the NSA

in #bitcoin9 years ago

I love this story. I love that Nash was so ahead of his time (computational complexity theory and modern cryptography were still decades away). I love that the NSA turned him away (or did they?). I love that he really does come across as "some crank," but today we know he was one of the great thinkers of the 20th century.
