What, you too? Part 1
A was a Dutch cryptographer who created a set of 6 rules for a certain kind of system. The 2nd of his set of 6 remained famous and relevant and was named after him.
B was an American mathematician, cryptographer, electrical engineer and all-round genius who, almost 100 years after A, formulated a variant of the same principle. This was in turn, named after A although they both largely mean the same! B was, of course, an incredibly prolific genius whose work, many believe, created the field of information theory and his papers are considered the most important papers of the 20th century. (consequently, B has featured on Boiledbeans _many_ times. So this is not a dupe :P)
Another interesting (unrelated) coincidence around B was with C. B proved a certain theorem in 1949 that is fundamental to the world of information theory. Unbeknownst to B, C - who was a Swedish-born American – had pretty much proved the same thing almost 20 years before. Funnily enough, almost half-a-dozen people independently proved this over time. But, by and large, the theorem is credit to both B and C.
Identify A, B and C for 1 point. No part points. Pseudo-bonus points for naming the set of 6 rules, the maxim, and the theorem :)

The system should be, if not theoretically unbreakable, unbreakable in practice.
The design of a system should not require secrecy and compromise of the system should not inconvenience the correspondents (Kerckhoffs’ principle).
The key should be memorable without notes and should be easily changeable
The cryptograms should be transmittable by telegraph
The apparatus or documents should be portable and operable by a single person
The system should be easy, neither requiring knowledge of a long list of rules nor involving mental strain

Six rules are: The system should be, if not theoretically unbreakable, unbreakable in practice.
The design of a system should not require secrecy and compromise of the system should not inconvenience the correspondents (Kerckhoffs’ principle).
The key should be memorable without notes and should be easily changeable
The cryptograms should be transmittable by telegraph
The apparatus or documents should be portable and operable by a single person
The system should be easy, neither requiring knowledge of a long list of rules nor involving mental strain
Maxim: The enemy knows the system.

since it was also discovered independently by E. T. Whittaker, by Vladimir Kotelnikov, and by others, it is also known as Nyquist–Shannon–Kotelnikov, Whittaker–Shannon–Kotelnikov, Whittaker–Nyquist–Kotelnikov–Shannon, WKS, etc., sampling theorem, as well as the Cardinal Theorem of Interpolation Theory.
