This page should be combined with ISAAC as they are about the same thing. The ISAAC includes a link to Jenkins Web site on ISAAC which is the definitive reference.

I'll undertake the combination and redirection if no one else will, as time allows.

Good idea. In fact the two articles are extremely similar! (ISAAC (cryptography) also includes a link to Bob Jenkin's website, BTW). However, I would suggest merging the ISAAC one with this one, rather than the other way around; there seems to be a common practice of naming ciphers with a (crptography) qualifier when the name can be interpreted as something else, which is often the case.

Bob Jenkins?

Is the link Bob Jenkins right? Is he really that Bob Jenkins? 87.217.57.201 15:23, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just looked at Bob Jenkins' (of ISAAC fame) website. He has a page with some sort of informal CV and it is pretty certain he is not the same Bob Jenkins written up in wikipedia. Actually "Bob Jenkins" has to be a fairly common name in English speaking countries. 203.164.223.20 10:11, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This issue is obsolete. The link now appears to be to the correct Bob Jenkins. 125.255.32.22 (talk) 06:12, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For the "citation needed" message, citation number 5 (the Aumasson paper) looks appropriate. Don't want to fix it myself, my editting skills are 10years out of date. 125.255.32.22 (talk) 06:16, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
