30 Years of Public Key Cryptography - Past, Present and Future
The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California recently hosted a 30th anniversary celebration of Public-Key Cryptography (PKC) to honor the inventions, inventors, historical milestones and the future of PKC. The panel of speakers spent much of the program focused on U.S. export controls on encryption products and concurred that the U.S. government was a major obstacle in advancing cryptography until it transferred export control jurisdiction on encryption products from the U.S. Munitions List to the Commerce Control List in 1996. The podcast and video of the program can be found here.
