Yesterday, I posted a copy of the Center for Cryptologic History’s official 2012 calendar. Today, I post the print-version of the
official 2013 Center for Cryptologic History’s. With regard to historical
tidbits, trivia, and factoids, there is almost complete overlap between the
2012 and 2013 calendars. However, the 2013 calendar has an entirely new set of
pictures.
It seems that David Kahn has been promoted to “noted
cryptologic historian” for the 2013 calendar year. This promotion further serves as evidence of domestication
of David Kahn. In the 1960s, Kahn wrote Code Breakers and defied demands by the
NSA to redact information from his book by secreting away the footnotes to the
information the NSA demanded be removed.
Now, the NSA owns his private collection and calls him a “noted
cryptologic historian’.
