I just got around to reading this. The author of the article is a well-known cryptologist named Bruce Schneier. I love this guy.
I once had a sig under my email:
"Bruce Schneier's secure handshake is so strong, you won't be able to exchange keys with anyone else for days."
Some other good Bruce facts: "Bruce Schneier is not balding, you just can't see the encrypted portions of his hair."
"Once Bruce Schneier was kidnapped and taken out of the country. His kidnappers got picked up and charged with a violation of US cryptography export laws."
"There are no prime numbers, just numbers Bruce Schneier hasn't bothered to factor yet."
"Bruce Schneier knows Alice and Bob's shared secret."
(that last one is pretty geeky, you have to be into symmetric key ciphers)
