Should this be moved to The Keeper Of Traken, as per the title card? Tardis1963 09:30, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

In the 4th episode, the Doctor reverse engineers a master key using an encryption system that involves a prime number and a calculation that will take "thousands" of years. This seems to me to be a pretty clear reference to RSA encryption (which was first published 3 years before this story was aired) -- should this be added to the science references section? Also: does anyone know if this is the first fictional depiction of breaking an RSA key? 46.208.124.73talk to me 23:55, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
