From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cryptology is an umbrella term for cryptography and cryptanalysis. Cryptology is usually taken to mean the study of mathematical, linguistic, and other coding patterns and histories. "Cryptography" is used in many English language publications in the field, as an equivalent 'highest order' term for the entire field. In several European languages cognate terms seem to follow the pattern given here. English, as is often the case, is more flexible (or confused, depending on taste). It certainly introduces a note of confusion in translating between languages in one camp and English.da:Kryptologi es:Criptología pt:Criptologia sv:Kryptologi
