Cryptology - Introduction

Cryptology refers to the study of cryptography, which is the process of communicating through ciphers, and cryptanalysis, which is the process of cracking those ciphers. While mainly used for war purposes in the past,  cryptology is also used today to encrypt secure and private information over a network. Hackers can use cryptology not only to gain access to an individual or organization's private data, but they can also use it to avoid detection.
