Talk:Strong cryptography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Russian ban?

Does Russia really has banned using of strong crypto? Where is the source of that info?!

[edit] oppose merger w/ cryptographically strong

Strong cryptography is a noun, referring to any of a semi-mythical group of cryptosytems which are especially hard (or even impossible) to break. Cryptographically strong is a related adjective which applies to various cryptographic entities such as algorithms, protocols, and even cryptosystems. These are not the same concepts, though related. Putting them in the same article will induce confusion in the mind of many Average Readers (who are confronting a twisty subject anyway) and this should be avoided. Parsimony is an admirable thing, but not when it increases the opportunity for confusion. ww 21:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
