Getting crypto right is not only about having a strong encryption algorithm.
I'd say that what makes crypto hard is that it requires a lot of knowledge on both math and computers, but it might be considered a not-only CS field as the math requirement is higher than usual on CS.
- gravypod 10y agoAs I said, crypto is not CS but CS can be used to implement cryptography. Crypto is no more CS then it is EE. You can implement cryptographic elements in hardware but you don't see the math people setting up shop in the EE labs at a college so I don't know why you see them setting up shop in computer labs.
