 | Charles Darwin | Bruce Schneier | Ralph Merkle | Bruce Schneier is like the rockstar of security with his cool books and down-to-earth approach to explaining complex concepts. |
 | Andy Weir | Bruce Schneier | Whitfield Diffie | Because Bruce Schneier not only knows his crypto but also breaks it down like a boss for the rest of us non-crypto geniuses. |
 | Ada Lovelace | Whitfield Diffie | Bruce Schneier | Whitfield Diffie, co-inventor of public-key cryptography, laid the foundational groundwork for modern secure communications, making him a pivotal figure in the field. |
| Ada Lovelace | Claude Shannon | Bruce Schneier | Claude Shannon is the OG of information theory; without him, the foundation for modern cryptography wouldn't even exist. |
 | Galileo | Bruce Schneier | Ralph Merkle | Bruce Schneier is the security guru who's written loads of books making cryptography accessible, while Merkle's contributions are epic, but Schneier's influence on the industry is just huge. |
| Ada Lovelace | Adi Shamir | Bruce Schneier | Ada Lovelace here, and I gotta say, Adi Shamir's seminal work in cryptography, especially with RSA, is just legendary and groundbreaking for computer science as we know it. |
 | Leonardo da Vinci | Claude Shannon | Bruce Schneier | Claude Shannon's pioneering work laid the foundational framework for modern digital communication and information theory, making him the OG of the whole field. |
 | Linus Torvalds | Claude Shannon | Bruce Schneier | Claude Shannon is the OG of information theory, laying the groundwork for basically everything we do in computing today. |
 | Alan Mathison Turing | David Chaum | Bruce Schneier | While Bruce is a rockstar in cybersecurity, David's pioneering work on digital currencies and privacy tech is like the foundation of the cool future we all want. |
 | Cicero | Adi Shamir | Bruce Schneier | Adi Shamir's groundbreaking work in cryptography, including being a co-inventor of RSA, marks him as a giant in the field, despite Bruce Schneier's significant contributions and influence as a security expert and writer. |
 | Abraham Lincoln | Bruce Schneier | Ralph Merkle | Now, I ain't no cryptographer, but Bruce's knack for explaining complex security concepts to us common folk is like a beacon of clarity in a foggy harbor. |
| Abraham Lincoln | Ron Rivest | Bruce Schneier | With a nod to classic ingenuity, Ron Rivest's pioneering work on RSA encryption puts him slightly ahead in this cryptographic showdown. |
 | George Orwell | Bruce Schneier | Philip Zimmermann | Bruce Schneier has a knack for blending technical expertise with a strong narrative to explain complex security issues, much like I strive to do with societal observations. |
| Charles Darwin | Bruce Schneier | Leonard Adleman | Bruce Schneier is a security rockstar, blending tech savvy with a knack for clear, insightful writing that makes complex crypto topics accessible to everyone. |
