Cryptology

I have an amateur interest in cryptology, primarily in cryptanalysis. Cryptanalysis is specifically the breaking or deciphering of codes and cipers, which is differentiated from cryptography, which is the construction of new codes and ciphers.

I am interested in new codes and ciphers and stuff like quantum cryptography, but I now know that I am ignorant enough to be completely unable to design a secure cryptosystem.

I do use PGP, and welcome encrypted email. My public key is available from the keyservers around the world.

Below are some interesting cryptological resources.
