If I wasn't lazy, I'd make this a disabigous page, or at least include a statement that Crypto is a general shorting of cryptography. --ORBIT 02:02, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Crypto already redirects to Cryptography. This is in all caps and the only all caps usage is for the conference. In fact, I'm going to go change Crypto to be a disambig page, as that is the most appropriate thing to do. CryptoDerk 03:25, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SHA1 stuff doesn't belong here

I strongly disagree that this stuff about SHA1 should go in this article. Collisions in SHA1 are notable, sure. But so are most things that get into CRYPTO because it is a good conference. I think it takes more than being "notable" to be included in an article about a conference on all of cryptography. Are CRYPTO and research on SHA1 collisions so intrinsically? When someone mentions the CRYPTO conference, do people think "oh, that place where they publish papers about finding SHA1 collisions?" No. Should we add other notable CRYPTO papers to make it more fair? In my opinion no, because it will only reflect the subjective opinions of whoever makes the list (my list certainly wouldn't contain anything about SHA1). I don't think any highlighting of particular results should appear here (until I present my paper that settles P vs NP!). Blokhead 05:05, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
