"The Public Key Algorithm Formerly Known as RSA"

In the usual academic tradition, it should continue to be called after 
the discoverers.  ARS would be nicely alphabetical.  There isn't much 
likelihood of confusion with Agricultural Research Service, Automation 
Research Systems Ltd, or Authorized Remarketing Supplier (checking the 
top google references).

And when you say it, it has a ring of truth about the 20 years that 
we've endured.

Meanwhile, what celebrations are planned?

Is there a conference we should all attend on the 20th/21st?  If one 
was organized, would folks come?
