This feels more like a posers guide to crypto.

It includes many "famous" and some overhyped papers, but not the ones you actually need to read to become a cryptographer. For example, I see nothing about cryptoanalysis in that list.

I commented on this on another thread, but in all honesty it was intentionally skewed towards more "popular" papers as a quick reference guide. A lot of the people that use this resource are university students or cryptography first-timers, and undergrad university curricula do tend to focus more on the "famous" papers rather than the most novel/important.

That being said, if you have suggestions for papers to include we'd be happy to add them!
