Cryptography

A Mathematical Theory of Cryptography (1945) - Shannon

The original classified memo for Bell Labs that was republished in 1949 as "Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems".

📜 A Mathematical Theory of Communication (1948) - Shannon

Shannon said that his wartime insights into communication theory and cryptography developed simultaneously and that "they were so close together you couldnt separate them". "Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems" incorporates many concepts and formulations that also appeared in his 1948 paper.
