Modern cloud technologies allow any user to get unlimited access to huge computing power from anywhere in the world. However, the core principle of this concept was developed in the late 1950s, decades before the emergence of concepts such as "cybersecurity" and "cloud". Its pioneer was not a large technology company like IBM, but an ambitious young scientist with Spanish roots. Now it is customary to call him “the father of the computer password”. But Corbato's merits do not end there.

Back in the 1950s, the young scientist Fernando "Corby" Corbato earned his Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As a doctor of sciences, he was admitted to computing on one of the most powerful and promising computers of that time - Whirlwind. - , , : , «» . . , MIT. . — . , , , «» .
