Nouncryptography (usually uncountable; plural cryptographies)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Cryptography (or cryptology; from Greek κρυπτός, kryptos, "hidden, secret"; and γράφ, gráph, "writing", or -λογία, -logia, respectively) is the practice and study of hiding information. Modern cryptography intersects the disciplines of mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Applications of cryptography include ATM cards, computer passwords, and electronic commerce. Cryptology prior to the modern age was almost synonymous with encryption, the conversion of information from a readable state to nonsense. The sender retained the ability to decrypt the information and therefore avoid unwanted persons being able to read it. Since WWI and the advent of the computer, the methods used to carry out cryptology have become increasingly complex and its application more widespread. Alongside the advancement in cryptology-related technology, the practice has raised a number of legal issues, some of which remain unresolved. From Wikipedia under the

Q. It deals with code breaking and sercet hidden writing. A book that teach show you different techinques. I always thought it was cool when I read Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. So I really want to try my hand it. Asked by MP - Tue Oct 31 13:59:51 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The very best introductory book to the whole area of cryptography is David Kahn's "The Codebreakers". It is expensive but well worth it. If you read anything else published later, you will have difficulties with gaps in your basic knowledge, which reading Kahn would have filled, and which the later author chose not to repeat. The first edition was 1967. If you get the 1996 second edition, make sure that it has an index - some copies were issued without one.
