May 5 - Cryptor Day

Nowadays, cryptography is used in their activities by law enforcement agencies, diplomats and various government agencies. The word itself is of Greek origin and means "secret writing."

In their work, cryptographers use special encryption equipment. The first creator of such a device is considered Leonardo da Vinci. Soon, encrypted messages became widespread in the correspondence of European monarchs. They were also engaged in encryption in Russia.

But cryptography reached its heyday with the advent of radio and telegraph, since new means of communication made it possible to significantly speed up the process of transmitting information, but at the same time made it more vulnerable to interception.

In the USSR, the encryption service appeared on May 5, 1921, according to the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR, and today it is exactly 100 years old. In modern Russia, this day has become a professional holiday for employees of the Cryptographic Service. Today they receive congratulations from friends, colleagues and loved ones.

The editorial board of Voenniy Obozreniye congratulates all those involved on the Day of the Cryptographer. We would like to express our gratitude to the cryptographers of Russia for their difficult and much needed work.

Then for "YAVERTYUIOP" !!! Happy Holidays !!! "Autumn 18"

[yuratanja1950]

"Then for "YAVERTYUIOP" !!!"...

We used to use it when we wanted to swear well, a little more complicated:
"IYTSUKENGSHESHAZEHA !!! FYVAPROLJE !!! YACHSMITBYU !!!" "
During normal training, the flight was pronounced, in one breath ...
And the girls were intriguing ... not local, Krasnodar ... those were already accustomed to such quirks ...

[aszzz888]

Happy Holidays! This is a necessary and important matter, therefore the responsibility is great! Stay safe!

[Cat]

Well, for the strength of the ciphers
So that the number of encryptions coincides with the number of decryptions. With us, of course. And with them - the opposite.

[Was mammoth]

“After the 1917 revolution, with the coming to power of the Bolsheviks, the ruling party needed qualified specialists in cryptography. In 1918, it was decided to consider November 13 as a professional holiday for all cryptographers. However, this tacit agreement was only formalized three years later, when an official encryption service was created under the ruling party. In 1921, the memorable date was postponed to May 5to coincide with the traditional May Day holiday of all workers. From now on, the date remains unchanged. "
We are encrypted! 103 years old.
At the training camp. Second specialty. Mechanic of ZAS telegraphic direct-printing.
Happy Holidays!

[Cat]

Yes, it was the Special Department of the Cheka under the leadership of GI Bokii, who in our times has become a hero of fantastic novels and films with a touch of mysticism.

[SERGE ANT]

Happy Communion Day!

[markant1970]

Well, for amateur gardeners "Violets"!

[Nikolaevich I]

I want to consult with members of the forum! I served in the army as a ZAS specialist ... Do I have the right to celebrate the ransomware Day as my own? And then I took a couple of "bubbles" today; ahead of May 7 (holiday of communications workers) and May 9; but not a little will be adjusted for the Day of the Cryptographer?

[Alien From]

You are not in a hurry) otherwise, as always: one is not enough, two is a lot, take three) health)

[yuratanja1950]

"; but not a little will be adjusted for the Day of the Cryptographer?"...

Definitely - LITTLE ...

[Cat]

Definitely - LITTLE

Yes, just nothing. So, wipe the contacts with a thin layer

[Sewer krainiy]

So I graduated from the 41st communications school of the Navy (Nikolaev, 3rd company) in 1968, a radio ZAS mechanic (Lily of the Valley, a little North), then retraining and 25 years "cracker", a lot - I forgot the rest ... But he was awarded the medal for 100 years of the encryption service. Happy holiday of retirees, storekeepers and acting. Retirees, we chew "crackers" .. And, by the way, I celebrate: Navy Day, Navy Aviation Day, Cryptographer Day, Communication Day, Military Counterintelligence Day, Cheka-KGB Day ... Let's be healthy !!! Vladimir, so I am about the same ... we take. we will not be mistaken ...

Is it true that in Soviet times there was a rumor that if something happened, our ciphers would last a maximum of a couple of minutes? And the enemy is invulnerable. After all, they say that our machines are not that far from Enigma. And strangers have just a cosmic leap in development.

[markant1970]

Enigma is the great-grandmother of EMok, all the similarities are in the rotary type of encryption.
Without the key and the machine itself, it is unlikely (given the level of computer speed) Crypto resistance - the teachers said 10 to the eighth power (I can't vouch for the numbers, it was long ago ).
Yes, and you also send it through the ZAS, where are your keys

Nonsense - this did not concern the equipment of guaranteed durability.

Quote: Basarev

And the enemy is invulnerable.

Enemies still cannot open our encryption programs during the Great Patriotic War - so draw your own conclusions.

Quote: Basarev

And strangers have just a cosmic leap in development.

We have had equipment for closing space radio lines since the sixties - so think about who then made the leap.

[Cat]

Is it true that in Soviet times there was a rumor

That the rumor was circulating - it is true, everything else - no. One abstract cipher program, if the principle of encryption is not known, or at least there is no binding to a place, it is practically impossible to correctly decipher any event or object (if we do not consider the infinite computing power). The Soviet school of cryptography was one of the best (if not the best) in the world.

[Alt 22]

All involved in the holiday!
He worked at "Violet", who remembers:

[tralflot1832]

In the distant 80s, while serving in the GSVG, he was an operator of the ZAS.Very tough specialty. For any "flaw" on my part, there was criminal responsibility, the terms began from 5 years. A week. But it cost. The coolest thing, yes you are an operator, but how it works, ZAS, you do not know from the word at all. You only know the TTD that it is very heavy, and you do not need to talk about the lag of the USSR in microelectronics. I can only say, conversation in telephony on the air it sounds like a "mountain stream". The stability of encryption at the tactical level is 12 hours, it is necessary to intercept the conversation without interference, and in the 12 hours allotted for decryption, the division can do such a thing. Happy holiday encryptors !!!

[Alien From]

Stirlitz and radio operator Kat have been living together for many years, Muller once again threw up his hands, well, who knocks to Moscow at night ..... (C) Happy Holidays to everyone involved! Good and peaceful sky!

He told them to put them next to them, because she knows the code, and you can't take your eyes off her. (Khazanov about the "hero of the invisible front")

[Kaw]

In my understanding of the sofa, modern technology should encrypt everything itself. I'm writing this comment, and the computer transmits everything to the Internet in encrypted form. Why is there a separate position for this? Or do we still use telegraphs and Enigmas in our army?

[Sewer krainiy]

And your messages are read to whoever needs and does not need. And cipher communication - state guarantee resistance. Sofa understanding ... sorry

[xorek]

Happy holiday of all involved men It's better not to write more

[sp77ark]

Day of the ransomware. And the night of the de-cryptor.
-My darling on the spot
-I deciphered all of me,
-And then he, a parasite,
-I was made by Only-Read!
Happy Holidays!
