Talk:Cryptology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perhaps the list of cryptographers should be put on a time-line? The Anome


Shannon's papers are dated 1948 (A Mathematical Theory of communication) and 1949 (Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems). Actually the papers were *written* much earlier in WW2, but they were classified. The rumor is that after an act that enables them to be published, Shannon quickly published them before they were reclassified.

[edit] content in wrong place

These comments appear to belong to article cryptography from some years ago. They should be moved to that article.

In addition, the crypto corner has taken the position that cryptography is the highest level classification and that cryptology is essentially a synonym. See cryptography#terminology, talk;cryptography, archived, and the discussions at talk:marion Rejewski, and Talk:Wikiproject cryptography. This decision was originally taken to avoid competitve, confusing, and duplicative article trees. And, of course, reader confusion.

Accordingly, this article should actually be a redirect to cryptography. Perhaps after being moved to Wikitionary (with the addition that the two terms are often used as synonyms, as for instance on en.Wikipedia.org. Reactions? I will try to remember to post it to admin requests in the next few days. ww 05:07, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
