- If you havn't seen it, there is an excellent article on what the
- Canadian codebreakers are up written up in Cryptologia. Shows some
- of their organization, their Cray XMP and other things. What I found
- startling was the time they spend training their people on advanced shift
- register theory! Are these devices still that popular? I would have expected
- them to have been replaced with computer type algorithms certainly within
- the last decade? Indeed why is their so much interest in them and not in
- things like PKS?
