Leonard Adleman might have something to say about that sentence.
- codetrotter 3y agoTrue. Adi Shamir is the S. Rivest–Shamir–Adleman

- sangnoir 3y agoAlternative history/facts: all the letters in RSA are from Adi Shamir's unixname (rsa). Because 'asr' (Adi ShamiR) was already taken, he started using the reversed string instead ('rsa'), and used it as the command name for the first unix implementation of the RSA algorithm, which he developed all by himself.
- ketzu 3y agoIf Adleman just had a first name starting with S, it would still work!
- richardwhiuk 3y agoleona*R*d adleman, ron rive*S*t, and *A*di shamir, clearly.
- eru 3y agoWouldn't that be Adi Shamir?
- seanhunter 3y agoAdleman is the S in RSA
