Isn't a one-time pad a symmetric cipher? If so it isn't mentioned here. [[User:RichardAlexanderHall|RichardAlexanderHall]] ([[User talk:RichardAlexanderHall|talk]]) 16:49, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
:Technically it is -- the keys on both sides are the same, however it is not really a practical example, since the shared secret is very large. Do you think it makes sense to use it as an example? [[User:Namnatulco|Namnatulco]] ([[User talk:Namnatulco|talk]]) 14:08, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 
== About history and differences between algorithm and cryptography ==
 
I have a couple of sources that would give more of the history/evolution of symmetric-key cryptography. Do you think that would fit here? If not, where do you think it could go? I was wondering because symmetric-key cryptography (I believe) redirects to here.[[User:CodeBreakNight|CodeBreakNight]] ([[User talk:CodeBreakNight|talk]]) 17:14, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
