This a good example of information security at the highest (and very personal) level. I fear the details might be lost to history, but it might be a good opportunity to investigate some better known (and lower level) cases of security clearance revocation. The reasons behind losing one's clearance likely play a big part into how the level of risk is perceived...

If anyone is curious, "substitutions" are related to a fundamental theory in mathematics with broad implications to all disciplines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_group

I love teaching and learning about mathematics and technology. Spies have a job to do and a desire to know... they will certainly use these tools in their work. I'd like to think about the following: Who do spies work for? Is anything I do worth spying on? How can I know how to be safe in the world of digital information?
