Programming Textfiles: Cryptography

A goal of all communicators, as far back as time records, is to ensure that

those communications reach the right people and don't fall into the hands

of others. To this end, codes and passwords and ciphers have been created

to make it so anyone intercepting a communication is unable to know what the

message is.

This goal has come into the computer era in the form of encrypted e-mail

and secure networking, and the politics that have arisen as a result are

what have brought a strong awareness of government policy and social

change to computing. This directory contains both technical and political

discussions.
