:{{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) |
