The question was "Why is there seemingly no standard algorithm?" and the answer is, there are, but Alice and Bob have not agreed on any standard to use. No other reply clearly spoke that out. Further my answer is non-technical. Even someone with no idea of cryptography can understand it, whereas the other answers here are partly even hard to understand for me as an expert. | |
