student uncovers us military secrets
an irish graduate student has uncovered words blacked-out of declassified us military documents using nothing more than a dictionary and text analysis software.
claire whelan, a computer science student at dublin city university was given the problems by her phd supervisor as a diversion. david naccache, a cryptographer with gemplus, challenged her to discover the words missing from two documents: one was a memo to george bush, and another concerned military modifications to civilian helicopters.
