This receiver from Watkins-Johnson played an important role in the Watergate Scandal (1972-1974) that eventually led to the resignation of US President Nixon in 1974. www.cryptomuseum.com/df/wj/rs111/
RS-111-1B receiver
Watkin-Johnson RS-111 surveillance receiver, introduced in 1963 by CEI and produced until 1980. Played an important role in the Watergate Scandal.

Sometimes I can see how the mechanism works from the scans, but in complex cases, it can be best to just model it and see what happens. The rotor stepping of the SG-41 mechanism is in the second type! The answer is mind-blowing! @tnmoc.bsky.social @threejs.org @cryptomuseum.bsky.social

Check out this power supply unit of 1965. It was used with the Fialka cipher machine (M-125) and proves that the Russians were well aware of TEMPEST and side-channel attacks. www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/fialk...

A deeper look at recent claims by Chinese media of a “real and substantial” quantum computing “breakthrough” to attack SPNs, the underlying algorithms of modern cryptography including AES. Via @dangoodin.bsky.social.
TL;DR: Turns out, the death of modern cryptography is greatly exaggerated.

Here’s the paper no one read before declaring the demise of modern cryptography
The advance was incremental at best. So why did so many think it was a breakthrough?
