Talk:Decimal sequences for cryptography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Looking at the literature, this seems a bit arcane to the point of non-notability and, of the few who have studied this, most don't use the term "Decimal sequences." Calbaer 20:13, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore, any claimed applications to crypto are completely bogus. The author has no cryptographic credentials. The constuctions in his paper hark back to the era of simpleminded heuristics used in the days before Shannon. Notice that he publishes in the EE community, where people don't neccessarily know any better.

Fractal cryptography was another such misguided attempt at do-it-yourself crypto by an amateur, albeit an academic. That article was AfD'd and deleted, and I think this one should too. Arvindn 00:13, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, AfD (or prod?). — Matt Crypto 00:55, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
