If you havn't seen it, there is an excellent article on what the Canadian codebreakers are up written up in Cryptologia. Shows some of their organization, their Cray XMP and other things. What I found startling was the time they spend training their people on advanced shift register theory! Are these devices still that popular? I would have expected them to have been replaced with computer type algorithms certainly within the last decade? Indeed why is their so much interest in them and not in things like PKS?
