Look. His name is Randy Hellman.
It is Hellman's first feature film in 21 years.
Hellman himself has argued that a more correct name
would be Diffie-Hellman-Merkle key exchange.
Hammett later told Hellman that she was also the inspiration for his female villains.
Hammett apparently told Hellman that she was the inspiration for his female villains as well.
Diffie and Hellman showed that public-key cryptography was possible
by presenting the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol.
Hellman was Dashiell Hammett's lover for 30 years,
as well as being a respected playwright, screenwriter, author and activist.
The Diffie- Hellman and RSA algorithms,
in addition to being the first publicly known examples of high quality public-key algorithms, have been among the most widely used.
Nora Charles from the Thin Man novels is one of the wittiest female characters in literary history,
but she doesn't hold a candle to her real-life inspiration Lillian Hellman.
In recent times, IBM personnel designed the algorithm that became the Federal(i.e., US) Data Encryption Standard;
Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman published their key agreement algorithm;
and the RSA algorithm was published in Martin Gardner's Scientific American column.
