[Cryptography] Michael Rabin

[Henry Baker]

I had the honor of taking a course from Michael when he visited MIT in the early 1970's.  He was a terrific teacher and person, but I'm afraid that my mathematical skills didn't impress him !

Just learned that Michael Rabin, who among other things came up with the Rabin cryptosystem and co-invented randomized primality testing, has died at age 94.
