Frank Miller: Inventor of the One-Time Pad

The invention of the one-time pad is generally credited to Gilbert S. Vernam and Joseph O. Mauborgne. We show that it was invented about 35 years earlier by a Sacramento banker named Frank Miller. We identify which Frank Miller it was, and speculate on what might have led him to his idea. We also discuss whether or not Mauborgne might have known of Miller’s work, especially via his colleague Pa...

Metamorphoses Through Lie Group Action

We formally analyze a computational problem which has important applications in image understanding and shape analysis. The problem can be summarized as follows. Starting from a group action on a Riemannian manifold M , we introduce a modification of the metric by partly expressing displacements on M as an effect of the action of some group element. The study of this new structure relates to ev...
