Template:Infobox cryptographic technique/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox cryptographic technique. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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
[edit]Here is an example of how to use this template:
| ROT13.png ROT13 is a Caesar cipher, a type of substitution cipher. In ROT13, the alphabet is rotated 13 steps. | |
