@incollection{bellovin:vernam--mauborgne--and-friedman,
  abstract = {The conventional narrative for the invention of the
		  AT{\&}T one-time pad was related by David Kahn. Based on
		  the evidence available in the AT{\&}T patent files and from
		  interviews and correspondence, he concluded that Gilbert
		  Vernam came up with the need for randomness, while Joseph
		  Mauborgne realized the need for a non-repeating key.
		  Examination of other documents suggests a different
		  narrative. It is most likely that Vernam came up with the
		  need for non-repetition; Mauborgne, though, apparently
		  contributed materially to the invention of the two-tape
		  variant. Furthermore, there is reason to suspect that he
		  suggested the need for randomness to Vernam. However,
		  neither Mauborgne, Herbert Yardley, nor anyone at AT{\&}T
		  really understood the security advantages of the true
		  one-time tape. Col. Parker Hitt may have; William Friedman
		  definitely did. Finally, we show that Friedman's attacks on
		  the two-tape variant likely led to his invention of the
		  index of coincidence, arguably the single most important
		  publication in the history of cryptanalysis. },

		  signals. Looked at narrowly---that is, in terms of only
		  NSA's mission---that may be true. Looked at more broadly,
		  in terms of how intelligence agencies have always behaved,
		  this is no surprise at all. They've long used only two
		  criteria when evaluating a proposed tactic: does it work,
