VIC cipher author known? Does anybody know if the design of VIC cipher is attributed to anybody? I've tried Google and found nothing. There are quite a few sites describing the method in detail, a few implementing it programmatically, and ample stories of the code in the coin, but who actually came up with it? Who decided to put the ideas together in that way? Some Russian scientist I assume, but does anybody know who?
Russian spy Reino Häyhänen, code name VICTOR;
