[Cryptography] RIP James Ellis

[Dave Horsfall]

We lost James Ellis, cryptographer, on this day in 1997.  He actually 
invented public-key crypto, but at the time it was all hush-hush, and so 
could not announce it; as a result Messrs Diffie and Hellman innocuously 
took the credit.  Trivia: he was conceived in Britain and born in 
Australia.
