Talk:Cryptanalysis/Related Articles

Good material, Sandy

This is just the sort of information flow for which I hoped when I created this Related Articles (RA) page. We can structure it later.

My increasing sense is that dumping out topics on perhaps a hierarchy of RA pages is that -- not just here -- it is a way to deal with assorted peoples' top-down vs. bottom-up style. There's a major difference between demanding a capstone article, and just having a root RA page that branches into more. 12:53, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

What about ciphertext-only vs known plaintext, chosen plaintext, ... not sure of the whole list. I've even heard "chosen ciphertext"; my guess it involves tricking someone into decrypting things that help your analysis, but I'm nowhere near certain. Do those get articles? Redirects into sections of cryptanalysis? Should they include lists of other attacks, such as I've started in active attack and passive attack? Sandy Harris 13:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
