Created by moving text from block cipher. See that talk page for discussion. Sandy Harris 04:14, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Approval?

The article this text was moved from, block cipher, is now approved and this text is in about the same state, so I think this is close to being approvable. What do editors think?

There are a few problems.

One is that the article has one catalog, AES_competition/Catalogs/AES_players, but no "catalogs" link shows up on the main page. There's likely a simple fix for that, but I don't know how to fix it.

Another is that there are no bibliography or external links pages for this article. I don't think we need those. Block_cipher/External_Links and Block_cipher/Bibliography contain some relevant material and I see no point in duplicating it. Most links and books for specific ciphers should be attached to the articles on those ciphers. The exceptions are ones that more generally important; those should be attached to block cipher, not to this article. However, this needs other opinions before it is acted on, and even if my suggestions are accepted, I'm not sure how to implement them. Sandy Harris 07:40, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Bump! The above is six months old. Any comment? Sandy Harris 10:20, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
OK, let me re-read and think. It may well be that we should think about this as a subarticle not so much of Block Cipher, but of Politics of Cryptography, because moving to open competition — not won by Americans — is the news as or much than the algorithms.

Bump! This has, I think, been close to approvable for well over a year. Can we move it along? Sandy Harris 02:50, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
