==Merge [[Lattice problems]] into this article==

== Ridiculous ==

This article is total jargon and useless for the general reader who wants to know more about lattice cryptography. It is so bad, in fact, that it uses the same terms to define terms, e.g.: "Lattice-based cryptography is the generic term for asymmetric cryptographic primitives based on lattices". HA! WTF does that mean? The writer has already introduced esoteric terms (primitives) thus rendering a basic understanding of the subject difficult if not impossible. Wikipedia's major goal is to disseminate information. This article does not do that. It is also apparent to me that the ditto-heads above can't see the forest for the trees.

:* <small>This article is total jargon and useless for the general reader who wants to know more about lattice cryptography.</small>

:** The article could be better, but I don't think "the general reader" is reading articles on lattices or lattice-based cryptography (though I think cryptography is much more likely to be read by less technical readers).

:* <small>It is so bad, in fact, that it uses the same terms to define terms, e.g.: "Lattice-based cryptography is the generic term for asymmetric cryptographic primitives based on lattices".</small>

:** Lattice-based cryptography is a generic term. What's it a generic term for? It's a generic term for asymmetric cryptographic primitives based on lattices. If you don't know those terms, follow the wikilinks. What do *you* think the first sentence should be?

:* <small>The writer has already introduced esoteric terms (primitives) thus rendering a basic understanding of the subject difficult if not impossible.</small>

:** Again, follow the wikilink. This is the first sentence of an article on a highly technical topic.

:* <small>Wikipedia's major goal is to disseminate information. This article does not do that.</small>

:** Yes it does; try restating that.

:* <small>It is also apparent to me that the ditto-heads above can't see the forest for the trees.</small>

:** Being rude isn't going to help anything.

:It would probably be better to make some suggestions for improvements, or make those improvements yourself. It would be awesome if you (or someone else) could write a Simple English article for this topic. [[User:Cyphase|Cyphase]] ([[User talk:Cyphase|talk]]) 03:19, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

== Why asymmetric? ==

I don't see any reason why lattice-based crypto needs to be asymmetric. I'm not an expert on lattice-based crypto but I have least seen one symmetric cryptosystem and one commitment scheme based on lattices. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2001:BB8:2002:3400:5869:6820:F55D:FD67|2001:BB8:2002:3400:5869:6820:F55D:FD67]] ([[User talk:2001:BB8:2002:3400:5869:6820:F55D:FD67|talk]]) 08:29, 23 August 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Made many changes ==

I rewrote the introduction, history, and mathematical background sections. I think they were all pretty poorly written before, unfortunately. They contained many false, confusing, and/or extraneous statements.

I'm new to making major edits in Wikipedia, so I might have done something really dumb. I apologize if I did. If not, I'll continue editing the rest of the article.

== I have NO idea why lattice cryptography should be quantum secure ==

Can't the quantum computer split itself across universes to try every lattice password at once, and then recombine itself into the one universe where it unlocked the lattice cryptography? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/74.178.55.176|74.178.55.176]] ([[User talk:74.178.55.176#top|talk]]) 10:46, 17 August 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
