Talk:Adi Shamir

I would like to point out that Sean Murphy did not invented differential cryptanalysis. (Comment insert by Orr Dunkelman, Computer Science Dept. Technion, orrd@cs.technion.ac.il) (moved here from article, without comment, by Finlay McWalter 12:09, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC))

Invention vs Discovery

As to whether the general method of differential cryptanalysis is a "discovery" or "invention", I think both words fit, and the original rephrasing was to avoid two "invent" words in the same sentence. (As an aside, I'm pretty sure you "invent" an algorithm such as Rijndael, and that you "discover" weaknesses in ciphers (e.g. "Biham invented a differential weakness in DES" sounds wrong...). — Matt 16:22, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Categorization

Category:Cryptographers is a sub-category of Category:Cryptography, and so the higher-level category is redundant. Yaron 22:02, Jun 21, 2004 (UTC)
