hello @bhushan4work , could you outline what sort of changes you had in mind?
bhushan4work commentedon Oct 6, 2026
@jgadsden thanks for asking. i was thinking of shifting this page from a lengthy explanation of cryptographic algorithms and modes to a brief overview of the core concepts, followed by links to reliable, actively maintained guidance. i'd keep the essential concepts developers need to understand, update or remove outdated examples such as rc4 and legacy cipher modes, and direct readers to resources like asvs v5, relevant owasp cheat sheets, and current nist cryptography guidance for practical implementation details. the goal is to avoid duplicating information that frequently changes and instead help developers find the right, up-to-date source for their needs.
