cryptography
The practise and study of encryption and
decryption - encoding data so that it can only be decoded by
specific individuals. A system for encrypting and decrypting
data is a cryptosystem. These usually involve an algorithm
for combining the original data ("{plaintext") with one or
more "keys" - numbers or strings of characters known only to
the sender and/or recipient. The resulting output is known as
"{ciphertext".
The security of a cryptosystem usually depends on the secrecy
of (some of) the keys rather than with the supposed secrecy of
the algorithm. A strong cryptosystem has a large range of
possible keys so that it is not possible to just try all
possible keys (a "{brute force" approach). A strong
cryptosystem will produce ciphertext which appears random to
all standard statistical tests. A strong cryptosystem will
resist all known previous methods for breaking codes
("{cryptanalysis").

Cryptography \Cryp*tog"ra*phy\ (-f?), n. [Cf. F. cryptographie.]
1. The act or art of writing in code or secret characters;
also, secret characters, codes or ciphers, or messages
written in a secret code.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
2. the science which studies methods for encoding messages so
that they can be read only by a person who knows the
secret information required for decoding, called the key;
it includes cryptanalysis, the science of decoding
encrypted messages without possessing the proper key.
