Two people can work on a problem better than one.
- Love

I liked Berkeley tremendously, Berkeley was a very leftist campus. I came to love that city as much as I love Paris or the south of France or New York.
- Deep
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Lots of people working in cryptography have no deep concern with real application issues. They are trying to discover things clever enough to write papers about.
- Professional
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Some people make sharp distinctions sort of between their recreational musings and their professional work. I don't make that distinction very much.
- Control

- Nov 07, 2020
I thought cryptography was a technique that did not require your trusting other people-that if you encrypted your files, you would have the control to make the choice as to whether you would surrender your files.
- Expect
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I understood the importance in principle of public key cryptography but it's all moved much faster than I expected. I did not expect it to be a mainstay of advanced communications technology.
- Life

People meet in bars after work all over the world and talk about the great problems of life and death and the world and politics and they don't take themselves seriously. They can do nothing else except chat about these things in bars after work.
- Differential
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I thought of computers as very low class. I thought of myself as a pure mathematician and was interested in partial differential equations and topology and things like that.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I really believe in the radical viewpoint. And I have always believed that one's politics and the character of his particular work are inseparable.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I guess, in a very real sense, I'm a Gnostic. I had been looking all my life for some great mystery... I think somewhere deep in my mind is the notion that if I could learn just the right thing, I would be saved.
- Conversation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No right of private conversation was enumerated in the Constitution. I suppose it never occurred to anyone at the time that it could be prevented.
- New

I call up Amazon. It seems to me they do a major thing wrong, right. I mean, they protect me against the loss of a $50 liability I have of something on my credit card, but they do nothing to protect me against somebody who is watching to see what books I'm interested in, what new perversions I've developed.
- Freedom
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I certainly enjoy going on stage and lecturing and talking to Congress. That's a personality explanation. And given government proposals, I thought I had a clear view that they were antagonistic to human freedom.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was, from early on, interested in science. And my parents were very obliging about that. My father used to take me to the museum of natural history, and I knew much more scientific stuff early on. From the time I was 11 or 12, I wanted to be a mathematician.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
Intellectual work is essentially a lonely process, and if you can find a way of doing something so that you're in company without being disturbed, that, for me, is the critical thing. I often get to feel isolated so often if I'm sitting either where there aren't people or isn't a view.

Cloud computing means you are doing your computing on somebody else's computer. Looking ahead a little, I firmly believe cloud - previously called grid computing - will become very widespread. It's much cheaper than buying your own computing infrastructure, or maybe you don't have the power to do what you want on your own computer.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People constantly face problems they've never seen before, and they have to solve them somehow. So a million people come up with a million solutions that are just a little bit different. If computing is being done by fewer resources, there will be enormous security gains by pushing things into standard practices.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
I think that the people who are trying to shut down WikiLeaks are going to have to accept this as a fact of reality that cryptography allows you to do this kind of thing.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you depend on a secret for your security, what do you do when the secret is discovered? If it is easy to change, like a cryptographic key, you do so. If it's hard to change, like a cryptographic system or an operating system, you're stuck. You will be vulnerable until you invest the time and money to design another system.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It isn't that secrets are never needed in security. It's that they are never desirable.
- Nov 07, 2020
The decisions we make about communication security today will determine the kind of society we live in tomorrow.
- Internet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am not convinced that lack of encryption is the primary problem. The problem with the Internet is that it is meant for communications among non-friends.

We have experienced an utter explosion in investigative techniques. Walk the streets, look at the cameras! They are now recognising people automatically from photos; we have DNA fingerprinting, infrascan photos that can identify you from the veins in your face.
