The research project on "anti-aircraft directors"

Leone Montagnini

pp. 111-132

Abstrakt

Following Bush's advice Wiener looked for other research fields. He tried cryptology. However, he did not feel at ease in this area, considering in retrospect that "the design of ciphers is not a matter into which one can go cold, without knowledge of the existing tradition and of the practical demands for each particular use" (64g [56g], 240).
