Introduction
This site provides the comprehensive list of resources
associated with Cryptography. The list is divided into sections
to make finding information easier. Much of the information presented
here is also available at the COAST
Archive.
Cryptography is the study of encryption, the transformation of data into a form unreadable by anyone without a secret decryption key. (As described by Francis Litterio.)
Many different organizations and groups of people use Cryptography to protect vital information from others that should not have access to it.
