Give an overview of cryptography standards: at least, what they are and some important examples.
Wikilink to a few of the most popular protocols, e.g., Secure Sockets Layer in the "Cryptographic protocols" section.
Add a mention of the widespread uses of 'rot13' on Usenet postings and other places in the early computer era, explaining that it is a Caesar substitution with a displacement of 13, so that encryption is the same operation as decryption, and that it was widely used to transmit potentially offensive matter, spoilers, and other things meant not to be understood upon inspection.
"Distinguish between the essential aspects and variations of"Science", "Engineering", "Philosophy", Application" and "Management" of cryptography because the language, contexts and perspectives are complicated and different.. Roy D. Follendore III (talk) 14:15, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

It seems odd that the main Wikipedia article on cryptography contains no description or link for quantum cryptography. Especially as the article contains several mentions of post-quantum cryptography (one of which was recently added), and a number of the existing references include quantum cryptography in their titles.
level-3 vital article is rated C-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
