- 1$\begingroup$ @JohnPaulParreño: Cross posting means posting the same question to multiple newsgroups/sites/etc. In particular, posting the same question on multiple Stack Exchange sites (like with your question on Stack Overflow) is frowned upon, since it splits the audience in parts, each with different (and maybe conflicting answers). Welcome to Cryptography Stack Exchange, though. $\endgroup$Paŭlo Ebermann– Paŭlo Ebermann2012-04-20 20:12:32 +00:00Commented Apr 20, 2012 at 20:12

- 1$\begingroup$ @JohnPaulParreño It is not the same site (obviously), but is run by the same company (Stack Exchange), has a partially overlapping community, and uses the same software (with some modifications, for example we have TeX formatting here). There are quite some more sites in the Stack Exchange Network, which you can find by clicking on the Stack Exchange button on the top left. $\endgroup$Paŭlo Ebermann– Paŭlo Ebermann2012-04-21 16:06:49 +00:00Commented Apr 21, 2012 at 16:06

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. public-key), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
