Talk:Adi Shamir

Untitled
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...). &mdash; 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)

Another important contribution of Shamir
I think the proposal of Identity Based cryptography is also a very important contribution of Shamir.

Religious Stance
Not that I particularly care, but what's the point of including the man's presupposed religious affiliation in the fact box on the right? That would be understandable for a religious leader, a politician, a philosopher, maybe even an artist, ...but for a cryptographer? Why not also mention whether he's right or left handed, or his favourite TV show?

Also, that's an unreferenced fact. He could very well be secular or atheist as far as his religious views are concerned.

As already said, I'm not bothered enough to remove it myself, but that mention looks weirdly out of place there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.27.134.43 (talk) 14:11, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I'll remove it. --Robin (talk) 15:05, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
