	:{{ping\|Dimawik}} Lots of people who are interested in cryptography (e.g., students with a generalist CS background half-way through a first cryptography course) won't already be familiar with every single piece of uncontextualized jargon in every corner of the field. A good rule of thumb is to imagine what the typical reader of your article is, and then provide enough context so that a reader one level of specialty lower can understand. --[[User:JayBeeEll\|JBL]] ([[User_talk:JayBeeEll\|talk]]) 17:35, 4 July 2023 (UTC)		:{{ping\|Dimawik}} Lots of people who are interested in cryptography (e.g., students with a generalist CS background half-way through a first cryptography course) won't already be familiar with every single piece of uncontextualized jargon in every corner of the field.

			::''A good rule of thumb is to imagine what the typical reader of your article is, and then provide enough context so that a reader one level of specialty lower can understand'': I wholeheartedly agree, yet think that I did just that in this article. As an example, I would fully expect a reader of an article on a variation of a [[cryptographic hash function]] (CHF) to already know what the said function is. One level down is "does not know what a CHF is but is willing to learn". For the latter reader a link to the article about the CHF is provided. In terms of education, this latter person can be a high school student, as this topic is not a genuinely hard subject like [[Maxwell's equations]] in physics, the situation here is along the lines "X is Y, but with an additional property Z. Since X is derived from Y, the properties of Y are inherited. Furthermore, if Y is designed using S, making Y into X is simple." etc.
			::I do not think it is always desirable to avoid using the specialized terminology, as was highlighted by [[Robert Sheckley]] with his Answerer. That said, I would be very happy to improve any particular area of text that is hard to understand. [[User:Dimawik\|Dimawik]] ([[User talk:Dimawik\|talk]]) 06:56, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
