    The army of those who have made at least one definite contribution to mathematics as we know it soon becomes a mob as we look back over history; 6,000 or 8,000 names press forward for some word from us to preserve them from oblivion, and once the bolder leaders have been recognised it becomes largely a matter of arbitrary, illogical legislation to judge who of the clamouring multitude shall be permitted to survive and who be condemned to be forgotten.

    Abstract

     

    This paper attempts to analyze the knapsack encryption/decryption scheme, survey major knapsack public-key cryptosystems developed in the past 20-some years, chronicle their rise and fall, and hope-fully shed some ligh
