While many use the terms cryptography and cryptology interchangeably, there is actually a difference in that cryptography names only one of the two main fields of cryptology: cryptography is the study of hiding information, whereas cryptanalysis deals with methods for obtaining the original meaning of the encrypted information without having access to the secret key/password.
In short, cryptology is the combined study of cryptography and cryptanalysis.

“Hello World!”

That’s how almost any beginner’s guide to programming starts, so it’s probably a good line to begin my first public blog with. Hopefully, you’ll find many useful facts and intersting stories about cryptography and relating topics at this place very soon. Please grant me some time to develop my personal “blogging style” and support me by making extensive use of the available rating and comment possibilities!

Have fun,
Matt
