Subject: Pls disseminate/post - 2013 Cryptologic History Symposium, 17-18 
October 2013

The Center for Cryptologic History hosts a biennial international 
symposium in October during odd-numbered years. The speakers and audience 
are a mix of outside scholars, current practitioners, retired veterans, 
and interested members of the public. Past symposia have had presenters 
from over a dozen countries.

The theme for the 2013 symposium, to be held on October 17-18 at the Johns 
Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory's Kossiakoff Conference Center ( just 
west of Laurel, Maryland ) is "Technological Change and Cryptology : 
Meeting the Historical Challenges." The conference will include sessions 
on "A Tribute to Alan Turing," a "Roundtable on Cyber History," "Bletchley 
Park," "COMINT and the Civil War," "The Cryptologic Legacy of the Great 
War Era," "SIGINT and the Vietnam War Era," and "A Technological Advantage 
: Historical Perspectives on Cryptologic Research and Development."

In all there will be 21 separate sessions and over 70 presentations. 
Speakers will include scholars such as David Kahn and cryptologic pioneers 
such as Whitfield Diffie.

All symposium sessions are unclassified and open to the registered public. 
A complete agenda and registration information will be available at the 
website
