The design and analysis of cryptographic algorithm is at the heart of what cryptologist do, however, it remains more of an art than a science.“Ralph, like us, was willing to be a fool. And the way to get to the top of the heap in terms of developing original research is to be a fool, because only fools keep trying. You have idea number 1, you get excited, and it flops. Then you have idea number 2 you get excited, and it flops. Then you have idea 99, you get excited, and it flops. Only a fool would be excited by the 100th idea, but it might take 100 ideas before one really pays off. Unless you ’ re foolish enough to be continually excited, you won’t have the motivation, you won’t have the energy to carry it through. God rewards fools.” ---Martin Hellman
