In a 1990 paper presented to the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (ref-1), Al-Kadi reported on several Arab scientists’ work in cryptography and cryptanalysis (based on recently discovered scripts).
   One of the those Dr. Al-Kadi reported on was Al- Kindi, who wrote a book on cryptology, the "Risalah fi Istikhraj al-Mu'amma" (Manuscript for the Deciphering Cryptographic Messages), circa 850CE. This book apparently antedates Western European cryptography works by 300 years and predates writings on probability and statistics by Pascal and Fermat by nearly 800 years.
   The paper also discusses the etymology of the term "cipher" and reports recent historical discoveries about numerous cryptogrphic topics including frequency analysis and polyalphabetic ciphers.
