Talk:RSA algorithm
My opinion - Please don't remove the algorithm. It is a simplified algorithm from the very heavy math seen on the main Wikipedia article.
- The math parts have been taken from the regular English version of Wikipedia. Thephotoman (talk) 18:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- The title here is a simpler version of the En title "RSA (cryptosystem)", and there is no need in standard English to bracket between adjective and noun, or within a noun phrase. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:53, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
complex topic and equation is okay, complex math words are not
My opinion - Please don't remove the algorithm. It is a simplified algorithm from the very heavy math seen on the main Wikipedia article.
Instead of removing it, we should replace the heavy math to only use simple steps. Or, it should heavily describe the algorithm in using simple math steps. Such as multiplying and prime numbers (which is something almost everyone can do)
The formula on this simple wikipedia article is actually used by most Computer Science students (I used it myself 3 years ago). Meanwhile, a majority of students wouldn't even be able to read the real/main wikipedia page.
As per the front page rules of Wikipedia Simple:
- Use Basic English words and shorter sentences. This allows people to understand complex terms or phrases.
- Simple does not mean short. Writing in Simple English means that simple words are used. It does not mean readers want basic information. Articles do not have to be short to be simple; expand articles, add details, but use basic vocabulary.
Specifically the part that says "It does not mean readers want basic information." And "Use Basic English words and shorter sentences. This allows people to understand complex terms or phrases."
This generally means, that it can be technical. It can show the full equation that defines RSA.
But we should avoid terms like "Totient" -- Rather -- It should directly say what the Totient is in a simple way.
Future editors -- Please just remove the very technical terms like "Calculate the totient: " etc etc. But replace it directly with a description of what the Totient is, and how to calculate this by hand. Do not remove the underlying step-by-step formula.
