At the feet of Rip Van Winkle is his dog and at those of his daughter is the gnomes’ keg of liquor, the drinking of which had sent Van Winkle into his long slumber and freedom from his bothersome wife for 20 years! The staircase hall is overlooked by a gallery that features statues made by Nicholls, having American literary associations, and a frieze in relief which features 82 characters from Shakespeare’s "Othello", "Henry VIII", "Antony
Rip van Winkle cipher it with the random numbers he remembers were transmitted T ago, to recover the original plaintext message. The delay T represents the "key" and must be securely communicated only once. Ueli Maurer says the original Rip van Winkle cipher is completely impractical, but it motivated a new approach to provable security. J.L. Massey and I. Ingemarsson. "The Rip van Winkle cipher - a simple and provably computationally secure cipher with a finite key." In Proc. IEEE Int. Symp. Information Theory (Abstracts), page 146, 1985. Rip van Winkle cipher In cryptography, the Rip van Winkle cipher is a provably secure cipher
