Is the cryptonomicon referencing actual cryptography, or cryptocurrency nonsense? The Enigma is cryptography, but the online bank thing makes me think it'll touch the cryptocurrency stuff.
The book came out around 1998, so it might have invented the idea of cryptocurrency.
After I read it, I discussed it with another fellow. He told me that he'd shown one passage to his wife, an astrophysics student. She showed it to her professor, who told her that this was advanced math.
Try it for yourself.
