Other names of the Kirchhoff's-law-Johnson-noise (KLJN) secure key distribution

While we prefer the name KLJN particularly because now about 10 different "Kish" types of KLJN schemes exist, for identification purposes, we list a few other names:

Other names of the original scheme

        - Kish key distribution, KKD (Gunn-Allison-Abbott in multiple papers 2013- )

        - Kish cypher (Derek Abbott and Wikipedia 2008-2013; and the new book triggered by the Wikipedia fights)

      - Classical key exchange scheme based on Johnson noise (Pao-Lo Liu, 2009)

        - Kish's cipher (Jason Palmer, New Scientist, 2007)

        - Kish's encryption scheme (Bruce Schneier, Schneier on security, 2005-2006)

Names of other KLJN protocols with enhanced or special performance

        - RRRT-KLJN (random-resistor-random-temperature KLJN)

        - VMG-KLJN (Vadai-Mingesz-Gingl KLJN)

        - iKLJN (intelligent KLJN)

        - MKLJN (multiple KLJN)

        - KKLJN (keyed KLJN)

        - iMKLJN (intelligent-multiple KLJN)

        - iKKLJN (intelligent-keyed KLJN)

        - KMKLJN (keyed-multiple KLJN)

        - iKMKLJN (intelligent-keyed-multiple KLJN)

Note, there are yet other types, such as circulator-based active KLJN schemes and Pao-Lo Liu's software emulation KLJN scheme, etc.
