My Own Ideom: nach Werner Koch

Yutaka Niibe at

When I learned German language (more than 20 years ago), I think I learned the phrase: nach Adam Riese.

Now, I'd like to propose new ideom: nach Werner Koch.

It's exactly the variant of "nach Adam Riese", but it's specifically for programming in the context of security.

Do you like it?

Adam Riese is a great mathematician, especially for modern algebra. IIUC, "nach Adam Riese" means "according to Adam Riese", which is used to express "(calculated) accurately with no doubt".

Werner Koch is, as you know, the principal developer of GnuPG, libgcrypt and its friends. It's up to us to admire his work using this expression. :-)

Possibly and likely, it would have already invented in German community.. I don't know.
