I wonder: Do they mean private sector cryptographers ?

- mrmondo 10y agoIsn't that what NodeJS developers call themselves now? Jokes aside, I'm assuming they either mean people that build custom encryption into their applications (such as the many messaging apps that we've seen broken over the past few years), or they've worded it somewhat poorly and mean to say 'people that implement cryptography in the private sector'.
- Canada 10y agoThey mean cryptographers who publish openly. As opposed to cryptographers whose work is classified or otherwise concealed from the public. Not all cryptographers who work in the public sector do so in secret. Not everyone who works in the private sector shares research openly.
