X-WR-CALDESC:7 February 1960: Gilbert Vernam\, pioneer inventor of machine 
 encryption\, died. \n\nThe Vernam Cipher is named after Gilbert Sandford V
 ernam who\, in 1917\, invented the polyalphabetic stream cipher and later 
 co-invented the one-time pad cipher. His patent was filed in 1918 and is\,
  according to the NSA\, quite possibly one of the most important in crypto
 graphic history. What we now call one-time pad encryption (OTP) was patent
 ed by Gilbert Vernam at AT&T in 1919 and enhanced by Captain Joseph Maubor
 gne of the Army’s Signal Corps. The earliest military application was repo
 rted by the German Kurzwellenpanorama magazine in World War I. Later it wa
 s employed by the BBC to send coded messages to Special Operations Executi
 ve agents abroad.\n\nThe largest application of OTP has been on number sta
 tions\; these unlicensed\, mysterious shortwave radio stations began broad
 casting during the Cold War. The Vernam Cipher has also been applied to mo
 dern computing.
