A PRIMER ON INFORMATION SECURITY BY BLADE RUNNER 001 In 1977 two young men, whom we shall refer to as, THE FALCON and THE SNOWMAN were prosecuted for selling sensitive information tthe Soviet Union. The object of the Royal Scam was a code book containing sensitive information in regards to cryptological systems employed by our defensive forces. The exact content of the document(s) remains unknown but to an ELIYE few in tmploy of C.I.A., Air, Naval, Army, and F.B.I. forces, however, we do know that the individuals recieved 40 years in prison each. In our society with it's myriad of individuals, personality types, and their characteristic passions, the need has arisen that we secure certain information from the general populus. The most widespread method by which this has been accomplished is CRYPTOGRAPHY. CRYPTOGRAPHY: From the greek word KRYPTOS, or "HIDDEN" and GRAPHIEN, or" TO WRITE." IN JULY 1977, thNational Bureau of Standards issued a Data Encryption Standard. The purpose of which is to provide protection against theft, damage, or unauthorized access to information stored on computers or other electronic media. This has resulted ivarious companies developing copyrited security devices and programs many of which are marketed for public use. CRYPTANALYSIS CRYPTANALYSIS involv going -in unauthorized ways- from a ciphertext to a plaintext. One of the most effective tools in accomplishing this is FREQUENCY ANALYSIS (F.A.). To do an F.A. by hands a tedious and mistake ridden task thus computers are used for greatest efficiency. THE FOLLOWING IS A FREQUENCY ANALYSIS DONE ON THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS IN PLAINTEXT.
