PROD[edit]

I removed the Prod tag on the basis that he has been cited reasonably recently as an expert in cryptanalysis even though his books were published nearly 50 years ago. See: Channel4.com for example. Some of these authors who published pre-internet seem to have to meet higher hurdles than existing authors who can put their material all over the web without little problem.

There need to be sources attesting to his notability. The link doesn;t attest to his notability; it just mentions one of his books. Otto4711 05:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
