Hi Bomazi, and thanks for submitting this good article nomination. At this point, I think the article is a long way from meeting several of the good article criteria:

The article is inadequately supported by reliable secondary sources. The three sources in the References section are a sample implementation of COMP128 (a primary source), a blog post (a self-published source), and slides from a university course (a tertiary source). Several of the sections don't have any inline citations. Please support the article with reliable secondary sources before resubmitting the good article nomination, and be sure to use inline citations. I recommend using Semantic Scholar and Google Scholar to search for academic references, and Google Books to search for book references. Although there is a lot of technical content in blogs, self-published sources generally can't be used unless they are published by established subject-matter experts. (Criterion 2)
The article does not cover the COMP128 algorithms in enough detail. Please add more information supported by reliable secondary sources. (Criteron 3)
There are no illustrations in the article. Please add diagrams or other visual illustrations to help the reader understand the article's subject. If there are no such media available, you can create some yourself or ask the Graphics Lab for help. Caesar cipher, a featured article, is a good example of an illustrated article on cryptography. (Criterion 6)

Also, there are external links in the article body, which should generally be avoided. Please use citations or the "External links" section, instead.

Unfortunately, I can't pass this good article review at this stage. Please continue improving the article, and ask WikiProject Cryptography and WikiProject Telecommunications if you would like additional assistance. Once you think the article meets the good article criteria, please submit another good article nomination. Thank you for contributing your knowledge of this subject to Wikipedia. — Newslinger talk 22:40, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
