Good list, the QR algorithm is particularly beautiful I think.
Personally, I think it's too oriented towards numerical algorithms. I'd drop the integer relation detection for RSA or maybe Diffie-Hellman as the most important cryptographic developments in the 20th century.
DH feels more important there.
