To answer the question about secretmail, xsend and xget was based on a
knapsack scheme that has since been broken.  It was written at Bell
Labs by Peter Weinberger.

Unfortunately, the Berkeley manual contains "AUTHOR" entries only for
things hacked at Berkeley which is unfortunate since BTL and a number
of universities made fundamental contributions (U. of Sydney and U. of
Toronto in particular).

For example, relatively uninteresting programs like vfontinfo and
vgrind are proudly AUTHOR'ed.  The vtroff program itself was written at
Toronto by Mark Tilson, but his name has even been removed from the
source listing!  (It was there in an V6 version I used in grad school)
Additional work on vtroff was done at the University of Purdue.
