A Revolutionary Leap
The VIC cipher can be regarded as the evolutionary pinnacle of the Nihilist cipher family.
The VIC cipher has several important integrated components, including mod 10 chain addition, a lagged Fibonacci generator (a recursive formula used to generate a sequence of pseudorandom digits), a straddling checkerboard, and a disrupted double transposition.
Until the discovery of VIC, it was generally thought that a double transposition alone was the most complex cipher an agent, as a practical matter, could use as a field cipher.

Famous quotes containing the word leap:
“This, however, is my teaching: whoever would one day learn to fly must first learn to stand and to walk and to run and to leap and to climb and to dance:Myou cannot fly into flying!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
