[edit] welcome

Welcome to both the Wikipedia and the cryptography project. There is certainly need for more folks to both create new, and refine existing, articles, in the crypto cornere specifically and on WP generally. Glad to have you aboard to help!

There are assorted tools for helping; you've run across the Cryptography Project, and the community portal on the main (and most other) page is an entry to more general WP tools such as the needs cleanup list, needs rework list, and the village pump.

In cryptography, there are several lists of articles belonging in the crypto corner, and a brief suggested list of things that need doing, all on the crypto project page which you've already found. There is also, of course, the teapot tempest, cypher v cipher, on which you are invited to chime (or chyme, your choice) in. ww 14:23, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia, and especially WikiProject Cryptography! On your user page, you note that you wrote the Secure multiparty computation page. Great work! If you like, you can claim credit for it under this username, rather than an anonymous IP address; see Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit for details. Hope to see you around. — Matt 14:32, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Cryptography mailshot

Hi, quick note to let you know about what's happening with the WikiReader in Cryptography. There's now a provisional Table of Contents to work with, and for the next 68 days or so there'll be an "Article of the Day" scheme: each day there'll be a particular article highlighted for reviewing and fixing. There's two templates for this purpose: Template:WikiReaderCryptographyAOTD and Template:WikiReaderCryptographyAOTD-Verbose. The smaller one looks like this:

WikiReader Cryptography — article of the day edit MRR Sunday, 24 July Playfair cipher (Talk) (History) Monday, 25 July Message authentication code (Talk) (History) Tuesday, 26 July Digital signature (Talk) (History) Wednesday, 27 July Block cipher modes of operation (Talk) (History) Thursday, 28 July Export of cryptography (Talk) (History) Notes: If you find problems that you can't fix (or it's too much effort), it would be very helpful if you could place a note on the Talk: page. Articles need to be checked for 1) Accuracy (Factchecking: Are there any mistakes? Is the writing precise? Are sources cited?), 2) Completeness (Any obvious omissions? Does it need illustration?) 3) Quality of writing (Copyedits: Grammar and spelling, phrasing, structure) 4) Neutrality (Is it written from the NPOV? Do we document all relevant points of view?) — Thanks! — To-do list for Digital signature edit Describe cryptanalysis of digital signatures -- what are the various notions of security for a signature scheme? Mention the common association of message encryption with digital signatures. (See all to-do lists for this WikiReader)

These articles are likely to be some of the earliest English Wikipedia content to get turned into a print version, and any help in making them as good as possible would be much appreciated. Thanks! — Matt 01:51, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] New Mathematics Wikiportal

I noticed you've done some work on Mathematics articles. I wanted to point out to you the new Mathematics Wikiportal- more specifically, to the Mathematics Collaboration of the Week page. I'm looking for any math-related stubs or non-existant articles that you would like to see on Wikipedia. Additionally, I wondered if you'd be willing to help out on some of the Collaboration of the Week pages.

I encourage you to vote on the current Collaboration of the Week, because I'm very interested in which articles you think need to be written or added to, and because I understand that I cannot do the enormous amount of work required on some of the Math stubs alone. I'm asking for your help, and also your critiques on the way the portal is set up.

Please direct all comments to my user-talk page, the Math Wikiportal talk page, or the Math Collaboration of the Week talk page. Thanks a lot for your support! ral315 02:54, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)
