Cryp-Tol-O-Gy



Cryptology is the union of two domains: Cryptography and Cryptanalysis. The word cryptography comes from ancient Greek literally meaning "hidden writing" thus "communicating confidential [information] through an insecure channel".



Cryptanalysis is literally breaking down a code that is "deciphering those communications when one is not the legitimate receiver".
