Template:Infobox cryptographic technique/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

This template is used to create an infobox for cryptographic techniques. It provides a standardized format for presenting key information about various cryptographic methods.

Parameters

[edit]

The following parameters can be used with this template:

name
The name of the cryptographic technique. Defaults to the page name if not specified.
title
The title displayed at the top of the infobox. Defaults to the page name if not specified.
image
An image related to the technique. Example: `Example.png`.
image_size
The size of the image, typically set to `250px`. Optional.
caption
A caption describing the image. Optional.
field
The field of study or application, such as "Cryptography".
first_published
The date or time period when the technique was first published or described.
inventor
The person or group who invented the technique.
related_methods
Other cryptographic methods related to or comparable with the technique.
key_size
The size of the key used in the cryptographic technique, which can vary.
cryptanalysis
Methods or techniques used to analyze and potentially break the cryptographic technique.

Example
