Non-technical?

@JayBeeEll: The subject of the article is highly technical by nature. It is hard for me to imagine a reader that is not interested in cryptography and still wants to read this article. Dimawik (talk) 00:27, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

@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. --JBL (talk) 17:35, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
