A New Thriller “The Cipher Who Came In From The Cold” Exposes The Buried Secret Of Modern Cryptography

National Security Implications

You probably have not heard it before because nobody mentions it. Yet, it is an undisputed fact: all short-key ciphers are breakable: every single one! And all the ciphers recommended by the US government are ‘short key ciphers’. Anything so encrypted, is collected and is subject to exposure. The government likes it that way — so do our enemies. Alas, for their hard-core secrets they use a different class of cryptography where large keys protect the hidden secret with a non-negotiable blanket of equivocation. Equivocation is generated by randomness, and is inherently resistant to quantum computing attacks.

Unlike quantum computers, this “Pattern Devoid Cryptography” (Google it) is readily available to ordinary citizens which can use it to safeguard their precious privacy: speak anonymously, pay and get paid without government surveillance.

This mounting clash between the dominant — yet vulnerable — technology of today, and its budding daring challenge is raging behind the scenes and captured in the newly published thriller: “The Cipher Who Came in From the Cold.”

When special CIA operations against Iran are being botched time and again, the Intelligence community is shaken. One conscientious officer challenges his superiors, and pokes the NSA. The newly appointed African American Director of National Intelligence is listening and taking charge. Marlene Leipzig, a smashing young math prodigy, joins in. The plot thickens fast. Iran and the US are entangled in a match of wits and grit. Israel pitches in; China stands by. Will America retain its global leadership?

A few hours of sheer entertainment — go for it!
