part of a collection of related articles
[edit]I think this article is well seen as part of a suite, all dealing with various issues of crypto systems; design, vunerability, composition, use, ... These might be calles system meta design issues, perhaps.
Existing, and unsatisfactory beginnings, include key management, crypto system, protocol, etc. Should there be a note to this effect, perhaps at the WikiProject: Cryptography page? ww 16:52, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
SHA-1
[edit]The section "Combining Cryptographic Primitive" mentions SHA-1, but since SHA-1 was broken [and has been deprecated in cryptography for a while anyway], should it be replaced with something secure, such as SHA-256? Hppavilion1 (talk) 23:00, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
I think we should, yes I am axx (talk) 14:40, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
OpenSSL news example
[edit]The Combining cryptographic primitives section ends with "An illustrative example, for a real system, can be seen on the OpenSSL vulnerability news page at [1]": an illustrative example of what, exactly? Also, that page essentially says to go look at the https://www.openssl.org/news/newslog.html page for info or https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html for vulnerabilities, so we should at least update the link, if not remove the section. I will update the link, at least. I am axx (talk) 14:40, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
Rated article
[edit]I'm rating the article as Stub-class (since there are hardly any citations, making for a complete lack of verifiability!) and High-importance (since cryptographic primitives are one of the most fundamental concepts in cryptography). Please review; thanks. Duckmather (talk) 22:17, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
