Amanda Walker writes that the assumption that the U.S. has natural superiority in cryptography is unwarranted. My impression is that the key modern breakthroughs are in public key crypto systems, including RSA, and that those were invented mostly by Americans (not sure if Shamir is Israeli or American). My impression is that the non-U.S. developments are essentially derivative, elaboration, etc. This is not an argument but a request for information. Am I mistaken?
