I copied this page from Wikibooks Cryptography. It needs work but I think it is more likely to get attention in wikipedia and I think it has a legit place there. I did not edit the content for the first posting so we would have a history trail. I plan to remove some purely computing items (e.g. Deep Blue). Here are some items that I think should be added:

  • William Friedman (various dates)
  • RSA challenge factored
  • Netscape random number flaw
  • Universal v. Remerdez
  • NSA DSA
  • WEP crack
  • KL-7 intro/retirement
  • STU-III intro

I'll be adding items to the article as I get dates, but help and additions are, of course, welcome --agr 03:13, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've deleted items that have been added --agr 01:57, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
