A 50-Year Quest: My Personal Journey with the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

In July I was making “encryption-friendly” pictures of rule 30: But what Jack and I were most interested in was doing something more “cryptographically sophisticated”, and in particular inventing a practical public-key cryptosystem based on cellular automata. And it’s basically still not been figured out (and maybe it’s actually impossible).
