Before I begin, I'll be using these terms a lot:
'Cryptography' is "the field concerned with linguistic and mathematical techniques for securing information, particularly in communications."
'Encryption' is "the process of obscuring information to make it unreadable without special knowledge."
A 'Cypher' or 'Encipherment' is "an algorithm for performing encryption (and the reverse, decryption) â€ââ⠀šÂ¬Ã‚ a series of well-defined steps that can be followed as a procedure."
(wikipedia.org)
Cryptography has played a major role in history, and has effected the outcome of many wars. Knowledge is power, which is especially true on the battlefield. If you know your enemy's plans, you can win a war with an army half the size.
