Talk:Crypto AG

Crypto-AG spamming article?

Very suspicious edits made Dec 25th by a user at 78.168.219.190. Edited only this article, removing any mention of Crypto AG's backdoored machines and NSA/BND ties, and adding an advertisement blurb at the top.

Anyway, if there are more edits from there it might be appropriate to ban the user. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.171.96.132 (talk) 17:32, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

The Washington Post this date exposes Crypto-AG as secretly owned by the CIA. Perhaps this spammer is related to that agency?

"Back door"

According to a new Washington Post article, "back door" is probably not the correct term. Instead, the machines encoded messages with an algorithm that was much less cryptographically strong than claimed... [1] -- AnonMoos (talk) 16:16, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

British "parallel"

As I recall it, one of the reasons the achievements of Bletchley Park were kept secret for so long was that post-WW2, the British were selling Enigma-style crypto machines (whose cryptos they thus knew very well how to break) to other countries. Could this warrant a "see also" or similar in this article? 130.243.68.120 (talk) 18:11, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Falklands war

In "Secrets of the Conqueror" p.79 is mentioned that UK had been reading Argentina's messages transmitted via Crypto AG devices. Does anyone knows other sources with more details about this? Thanks and regards, DPdH (talk) 00:41, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Editing possibly by someone with a close connection to the subject matter

This edit made me curious. It was editing out a reference to a US company. I do not know whether the information that was edited out was true or not. I just want to point out that the statement "Crypto International AG or Andreas Linde is not in any way related to CRV LLC" is interesting because Andreas Linde probably lives in Lund, Sweden and that edit came from an IP that appears to be in Lund. Make of that what you will. I only noticed this because I also happen to live there, and so I was a bit spooked by it given I had recently edited the article myself. To be clear, I'm not saying the edit should be reverted, the original info was unsourced. —ajf (talk) 11:19, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Interesting but seems to be a legit edit. Would also be curious to see when that material was added. - Indefensible (talk) 21:11, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
