Appears to be original research; has read like an unsourced essay for the past 14 years. The premise that "Cryptographic Engineering is the discipline of using cryptography to solve human problems" seems reasonable; however, it is completely unsupported. Perhaps a well-researched article could be written on the topic in the future. But due to the complete lack of sources, this page has nothing salvageable and we should WP:NUKEIT.

Delete per nom. There are a plethora of sources between Google News and google Books, with whole books being written on the topic. Per nom, however, it is just best to delete it and start over. Willsome429 (say hey or see my edits!) 15:25, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The page should be nuked and rebuilt per nom. The single included source has 83 references, of which about half could be used to support this topic to great effect. Not to mention the wealth of reliable sources online. Interesting article, would definitely love to see a solid sourced page on it. DeniedClub ^{❯❯❯ talk?} 15:16, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
