perhaps it was a team.  i ask only partly in jest; after all, if the
algorithms are intended to be secret themselves, compartmentalizing
the effort in such a way to appear as a pedestrian, otherwise routine
application of the maths.

if you were the NSA and wanted to delegate the task of secret cipher
development, how would you disguise the nature and intent of the work
so assigned?

(does the NSA do a lot of bioinformatics? :)
