Whitfield Diffie Quotes

I think that the people who are trying to shut down WikiLeaks are going to have to accept this as a fact of reality that cryptography allows you to do this kind of thing Picture Quote #1

We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solutions Picture Quote #1

Intellectual work is essentially a lonely process, and if you can find a way of doing something so that you’re in company without being disturbed, that, for me, is the critical thing. I often get to feel isolated so often if I’m sitting either where there aren’t people or isn’t a view Picture Quote #1

I thought of computers as very low class. I thought of myself as a pure mathematician and was interested in partial differential equations and topology and things like that Picture Quote #1

Cloud computing means you are doing your computing on somebody else’s computer. Looking ahead a little, I firmly believe cloud - previously called grid computing - will become very widespread. It’s much cheaper than buying your own computing infrastructure, or maybe you don’t have the power to do what you want on your own computer Picture Quote #1

Cloud computing is a challenge to security, but one that can be overcome Picture Quote #1

I certainly enjoy going on stage and lecturing and talking to Congress. That’s a personality explanation. And given government proposals, I thought I had a clear view that they were antagonistic to human freedom Picture Quote #1

If you depend on a secret for your security, what do you do when the secret is discovered? If it is easy to change, like a cryptographic key, you do so. If it’s hard to change, like a cryptographic system or an operating system, you’re stuck. You will be vulnerable until you invest the time and money to design another system Picture Quote #1

It’s simply unrealistic to depend on secrecy for security in computer software. You may be able to keep the exact workings of the program out of general circulation, but can you prevent the code from being reverse-engineered by serious opponents? Probably not. The secret to strong security: less reliance on secrets Picture Quote #1

People constantly face problems they’ve never seen before, and they have to solve them somehow. So a million people come up with a million solutions that are just a little bit different. If computing is being done by fewer resources, there will be enormous security gains by pushing things into standard practices Picture Quote #1

One of the things that characterizes good intellectual work is a certain self-importance Picture Quote #1

We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solution Picture Quote #1

Without strong encryption, you will be spied on systematically by lots of people Picture Quote #1

The secret to strong security: less reliance on secrets Picture Quote #1

Two people can work on a problem better than one Picture Quote #1

If you have ambition, you might not achieve anything, but without ambition, you are almost certain not to achieve anything Picture Quote #1

I have been working on two problems for three years: one of them for 8 or 9 years, and one of them for 3, 4, 5 years Picture Quote #1

If you say to people that they, as a matter of fact, can’t protect their conversations, in particular their political conversations, I think you take a long step toward making a transition from a free society to a totalitarian society Picture Quote #1

I have always believed the thesis that one’s politics and the character of one’s intellectual work are inseparable Picture Quote #1
