A. A. Albert (1905 – 1972) … we shall see that cryptography is more than a subject permitting mathematical formulation, for indeed it would not be an exaggeration to state that abstract cryptography is identical with abstract mathematics. November 22, 1941
Lester S. Hill (1891 – 1961) Monthly articles: • “Cryptography in an algebraic alphabet.” 1929. • “Concerning certain linear transformations apparatus of cryptography.” 1931.
1986 Fell-Diffie “Analysis of a public key approach based upon polynomial substitution”

Claude Shannon (1916 – 2001) Thus if we could show that solving a certain [crypt0]system requires as least as much work as solving a system of simultaneous equations in a large number of unknowns, of a complex type, then we would have a lower bound of sorts for [its security]. 1949
