Differential Cryptanalysis of DES was know and kept secret by IBM and NASA. With minor modifications the algorithm was vulnerable to ke recovery.
Military driven. All entities under one roof so sharing secret was not a problem
ViolatesKerchoff’s principle that only key should be secretThere is no key thereEnigma had to be broken again and again as the cipher changed.
Invulenrable to computational advances.. Quantum computing etc.Does not depend on computational hardness
No references to related prior work was also cited as reason for rejection.
20-bit cipher as the puzzle 1 minute to solve and another 1 to verify.Average 500K minutes (1 Year) for Eve to brute-force the right key.
Talk about how problems were being solved for militaryRadar-plane challenge response : realization that “What if Alice could pose challenges whose answers she didn’t know (and couldn’t feasibly compute) but could feasibly verify ?”

(private key) Easy and Hard (public key) Knapsack + multiplier and modulus used to convert hard to easy and vice versa
Fermat’s Little thm used in probabilistic primality testing. Fermat’s witness and Fermat’s liars and pseudoprime.Little only in deference to last thm.
