Михаило Петровић Алас - наш водећи криптограф између два светска рата
Mihailo Petrović Alas – our leading cryptographer between the two world wars
Abstract
Encryption is today one of standard approaches for achieving security and privacy in the
digital space, and a large number of experts works in this area both from a scientific and
research perspective and in the domains of a large number of different applications. At the
time of Mihail Petrovic Alas, dealing with encryption was a rather rare and very specific
job, and he was at the same time the main scientist-researcher and chief state advisor
responsible for the codes between the two world wars. It is preserved a relatively small
number of records mainly in the form of military documents about this very respectable
segment of work and achievements of Mihailo Petrovic that was very important at that
time and is also important and interesting from the historical perspective. These documents undoubtedly indicate great merits of M. P. Alas for our country in the domain
of cryptology even before it was established as a world level scientific discipline [4]. This
paper summarizes..., based on [1] – [3] and [5] – [6], some of the historical facts about the
M. P. Alas as our main cryptographer between the two world wars.
In the mentioned documents, it was noted that the work of M. P. Alas and the results
of this work can be found in: (1) Methods for encryption, (2) methods for “breaking” the
codes and (3) education on encryption techniques as well as deciphering of encrypted
messages.
History acknowledges, and due to the growing importance of the area in which M.
P. Alas has left his mark, history will even further emphasize the work of Mihailo Petroviс
Alas in the domain of the development of the Serbian state ciphering methods between
the two world wars.
