Talk:Cleartext

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The intent of the discussion of the imaginary FOO protocol was to make clear that cleartext transmission is not necessarily in all cases, bad from a security standpoint.

The removal of that discussion has removed that point, one which the reader may find useful, without replacing it with equivalent coverage.

Perspective is always useful in so confusing (to the novice and many of the seasoned) field as crypto and security issues. I would suggest that the removed material should be reinserted or some alternative covering the same points by included. ww 22:45, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
