  • ʻAfīf al-Dīn ʻAlī ibn ʻAdlān al-Mawsilī (Arabic: عفيف لدين علي بن عدلان الموصلي; 1187–1268 CE), born in Mosul, was an Arab cryptologist, linguist and poet who is known for his early contributions to cryptanalysis, to which he dedicated at least two books. He was also involved in literature and poetry, and taught on the Arabic language at the Al-Salihiyya Mosque of Cairo. He was in contact with various rulers of his time, and in this capacity he gained practical experience in cryptanalysis or the science of breaking encoded messages. He dedicated On Cryptanalysis, his only surviving work on the topic, to Al-Ashraf Musa (r. 1229–1237), the Ayyubid Emir of Damascus. He wrote three other books, including Al-Mu'lam (The Told [Book]), also on cryptanalysis, but it is now lost. On Cryptanalysis is a sort of guidebook for cryptanalysts, containing twenty sets of techniques he calls "rules". The methods contains more practical details than Al-Kindi's 8th century Treatise on Deciphering Cryptographic Messages—the earliest surviving work on cryptoanalysis—but lack its predecessor's theoretical background on cryptography. Among Ibn 'Adlan's original contributions were methods for breaking no-space monoalphabetic cryptograms, a type of ciphers which were developed to evade analysis techniques described earlier by Al-Kindi. In this treatise Ibn 'Adlan also includes a real-life example of a cryptogram that he deciphered and his full process in breaking it, which, in the words of the cryptographer James Massey, provides "the authentic experience of a highly skilled cryptanalyst."
