Actually PK was Diffie's idea, which is why his name comes first in the "Diffie-Hellman method" ;Bear 01:27, 2004 Apr 17 (UTC)

This is actually not true. Diffie came up with the idea of a two key system, Hellman wrote the algorithm. Diffie comes first because Diffie was Hellman's graduate student. It was up to Hellman to decide what to call the research and he put it in alphabetical order. Buddyzoo (talk) 00:31, 29 April 2011 (UTC)User:Buddyzoo 17:30, 2011 Apr 28

bachelor to master

Hellman just needed a single year to turn his bachelor's degree into a master's? --Abdull 21:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

For smart people, that is common. His co-faculty Knuth got his BS and MS at the same time. 143.232.210.46 (talk) 20:41, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
