Talk:World War I cryptography

Most of the sections should be in another article
The title of this article is WWI cryptography, but 95% of the article is about cryptanalysis, individual cryptanalysts and cryptanalysis organizations. There is little more than a passing mention of the actual ciphers used for cryptography in WWI, never mind their origins, methods and effectiveness.

Perhaps this should be spit into two articles, one about crypto and one about cipher cracking efforts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skintigh (talk • contribs) 15:57, 25 February 2013 (UTC)


 * The word "cryptography" is used differently by different people - some use it to refer to the design of ciphers some to both the design and cryptanalysis of ciphers. In any case there is nowhere near enough material here to justify a split. Hut 8.5 18:51, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
