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.

Not sure if I'm just not seeing it, does the author(s) state what criteria they used for deciding what to include/exclude?

Founder of Evervault here — we created the page more as a simple reference to the most common papers that people are looking for when they're learning cryptography from scratch (with a mathematical background). As a result, frankly it skews more towards the "most famous" papers rather than the most important. If you have suggestions for papers you think we should include, we'd be happy to add them!
