"overturned his conviction": is this right? The source doesn't say so. As I understand it, the courts keep changing their mind on whether a pardon overturns the conviction or just the sentence. I don't know where they are at present. WP doesn't seem to address the issue. [[User:Peter Jackson|Peter Jackson]] 09:49, 24 December 2013 (UTC) |

- Cryptanalysis [r]: The sub-field of cryptology which deals with breaking into existing codes and ciphers. [e]
- Cryptography [r]: A field at the intersection of mathematics and computer science that is concerned with the security of information, typically the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of some message. [e]

I don't know where they are at present. WP doesn't seem to address the issue. Peter Jackson 09:49, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
