Thank you! We'll create some nice cover illustrations and add these to the list


Not many know about it, but this paper (written in 1948) stemmed from a lesser-known paper Shannon wrote in 1945 called "A Mathematical Theory of Cryptography"[0].

Wow! Could you suggest some extra bibliography that discusses this?


We should definitely include Josh. Any suggestions specifically on which paper of his would be most useful to include?


Any on cryptographic elections. Maybe this one - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/receipt...

Not a cryptographer. The extent of my expertise is that when I was in college I did a survey of ~15 papers on cryptographic elections. Take my suggestion with a grain of salt.


I don’t have a suggestion as I am not really qualified to evaluate the importance of a paper about any aspect of cryptography. I know him personally—a little bit—and know that Dr. Beneloh is very well regarded in that world.


That's true! To be honest the papers start at the _beginning_ of (modern) cryptography, and the site doesn't factor in some of the more modern research in crypto. We haven't refreshed it in a couple of years, but should include some of the new FHE and PQC standardized schemes etc.

Any thoughts on what we should add/remove?


I would add Hugo Krawczyk's "SIGMA: the ‘SIGn-and-MAc’ Approach to Authenticated Diffie-Hellman and its Use in the IKE Protocols"

https://www.iacr.org/cryptodb/archive/2003/CRYPTO/1495/1495....


I commented on this on another thread, but in all honesty it was intentionally skewed towards more "popular" papers as a quick reference guide. A lot of the people that use this resource are university students or cryptography first-timers, and undergrad university curricula do tend to focus more on the "famous" papers rather than the most novel/important.

That being said, if you have suggestions for papers to include we'd be happy to add them!


Good suggestion! We (unfortunately) don't have an official webmaster at the company, but will try and surface this data on the page :)


Founder of Evervault here — we created the page more as a simple reference to the most common papers that people are looking for when they're learning cryptography from scratch (with a mathematical background). As a result, frankly it skews more towards the "most famous" papers rather than the most important. If you have suggestions for papers you think we should include, we'd be happy to add them!


If anybody's interested in any of the algorithms and papers that underpin most modern cryptography, we created a dedicated page on our site[0] as an homage to the great cryptographers of the last century(!) (and their works).

Thanks for sharing Shane, and nice to see companies engaged with the community on a technical level!
