C R Y P T A N A L Y S I S : cyphers

In preparation for essays on cryptology, I assembled various materials:

  • a technical bibliography on cryptology from the FAQ file of the sci.crypt newsgroup
  • a java applet for magnetic poetry; a graphic illustration of the manipulation of letters and words perhaps, or else just a game...
  • preliminary notes on the secret in the writings of Jacques Derrida
I also looked into some of the more palpable applications of cracking codes and passwords insofar as they alight online: I enclose a few that interested me.

For Macintosh users, the Stayaway page and its environs will be of interest.
For Apple Powerbok users, the Security Control Panel page is especially relevant.
Before you leave, check out the jumps and skips of association offered on my exit page. Other material focusing on related issues may be added later.
