Editing Incubator escapee wiki:WikiProject Cryptography/February 2005 (section)

==Article improvements==
A new navigation box for stream ciphers has been rolled out, originally contributed by an anonymous editor: '''[[Template:Stream ciphers]]'''.

[[User:Logologist]] has been working on bringing Wikipedia's coverage of Enigma history articles up to scratch, particularly the articles on '''[[Marian Rejewski]]''' and '''[[Ultra]]'''.

On [[16 February]], [[Bruce Schneier]] reported a break into '''[[SHA-1]]''' by Chinese researchers Xiaoyun Wang, Yiqun Lisa Yin, and Hongbo Yu. Wikipedia response was rapid, updating the article an hour after Schneier's posted his blog entry. Wikipedia articles were referenced several times in the subsequent Slashdot story [http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/02/16/0146218].

'''[[Password]]''' has undergone a major rewrite and expansion, much of which was undertaken by [[User:ArnoldReinhold]]. This month, the article grew from 2500 words to 3200.

Similarly, '''[[Cryptographically strong]]''' and '''[[Electronic signature]]''' was expanded and rewritten by [[User:Ww]].

The "Key Exchange" section of '''[[Quantum cryptography]]''' has been rewritten by an anonymous user.

[[User:Matt Crypto]] adapted a public-domain NSA article to expand the Wikipedia treatment of US cryptanalyst '''[[Solomon Kullback]]''', and also performed a revision of '''[[Pretty Good Privacy]]'''.
