Cryptanalysis [r]: The sub-field of cryptology which deals with breaking into existing codes and ciphers. ^[e]
Cryptography [r]: A field at the intersection of mathematics and computer science that is concerned with the security of information, typically the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of some message. ^[e]
Cryptology [r]: The theory and practice of protecting the content of communications, and of defeating the protective measures ^[e]

Of those three, might as well use "cryptology", the general term encompassing both the others. Of course, there are other parents, at least mathematics and computer science. Sandy Harris 01:46, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Sandy, yes, i did settle for cryptology, so that sounds right. The other two i used were developmental biology and statistics. Do you think statistics should be switched to mathematics? Or Possibly use both statistics and mathematics? Chris Day 16:23, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
