Talk:Cryptography

Should the Rosenbergs be on this page? They sold secrets, but not codes, to the Russians. Maestro 12:25, 3 February 2008 (EST)

There should be mention of the historical uses of cryptography by the romans and early christians. Also mention of modern cryptography under the guise of encryption allowing secure internet transfers including all credit card and personal data. i will work on a major edit for this page, probably post it tomorrow evening --ChazzaP 17:59, 3 February 2008 (EST)

I moved my changes into the main article after merging some of the relevant information from the previous version into the copy in my sandbox. There are still some gaps in the history (specifically the Vigenere and Playfair ciphers and they're history/influence on substitution ciphers) as well as specific details in a few other areas too. I welcome any comments, though!

I'm really interested in crypto/crypta, and I'm going to try to create/finish a few more articles on the specific types of ciphers, both historical and modern, just out of personal interest. Ambitiously? in the next few weeks? Realistically, a while, considering that I start classes again in a month.

Please add anything you feel is missing! Tyler Zoran ^Talk 17:30, 20 July 2010 (EDT)
