The title should be "Information-theoretic security" (note the hyphen). 71.142.221.191 22:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That depends on what sources you read. Nigel Smart uses "Information theoretic security" in his book Cryptography, An Introduction : Second Edition available online http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/~nigel/Crypto_Book/ Bah23 12:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with OP. "Information-theoretic" is a compound adjective in the English language and should therefore be hyphenated. 143.215.119.153 (talk) 22:58, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've moved the article. —Emufarmers(T/C) 07:48, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Quantum Cryptography" should be "Quantum Cryptanlysis" or "Cryptanalysis using a quantum computer" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.6.54.5 (talk) 15:10, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence "An encryption protocol with information-theoretic security does not depend for its effectiveness on unproven assumptions about computational hardness." (emphasis mine) contradicts the last section on Unconditional Security. It should say "An encryption protocol with information-theoretic security does not depend on computational hardness for its effectiveness." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.97.124.14 (talk) 22:06, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
