What's the difference between cryptographer and cryptology?

Cryptographer


Definition:

  • (n.) One who writes in cipher, or secret characters.

  • (2) It was great: a sort of cryptographic cowrie shell for virtual fish.
  • (3) For one thing, both denials conspicuously fail to include the most convincing proof of identity: a cryptographic signature already known to be used by Satoshi Nakamoto.
  • (4) Each bitcoin is more cryptographically complex than the previous one, requiring more computational time to "mine" it, and thus investment in electricity and use of computer hardware.
  • (5) However, when internet giants can be convinced to switch on cryptographic protection for the link to their users’ browsers, millions can benefit without ever having to take any action.

  • (8) They are widely available and, thanks to things like cryptographic signing, it is possible to download these packages from any server in the world (not just big ones like Github) and verify, with a high degree of confidence, that the software you’ve downloaded hasn’t been tampered with.
  • (9) He was withering on the subject the NSA’s undermining of the US National Institute for Standards in Technology’s cryptography projects, saying it had “radicalised mild-mannered cryptographers.
  • (10) This post was updated to remove a claim that Satoshi Nakamoto frequently cryptographically signed his emails.
  • (11) The vast majority of these passwords would be cracked in next to no time; it’s about the next worst thing you do next to no cryptographic protection at all.” This is the latest in a long line of data breaches that includes the recent TalkTalk hacks , which saw a database of millions of customers being accessed by hackers, leading to phishing attacks and scams.
  • (12) That is because each is unique, and has to be verified by solving the cryptographic problem to be transferred.
  • (13) The reports say that, in addition to undermining all of the mainstream cryptographic software used to protect online commerce, the NSA has been "collaborating with technology companies in the United States and abroad to build entry points into their products".
  • (14) Cryptographers with a conscience are creating some of the emerging privacy-protecting tools and services – Blackphone being one example .
  • (15) They are then run through a cryptographic function known as a hash, which produces a short alphanumeric string of numbers.
  • (16) He had been working for the Admiralty as a cryptographer since 1914 and, disliking rowdy young men, got special permission to work with an all-female team.
  • (17) Thomas Massie, a libertarian-minded Kentucky Republican, has authored an amendment to a forthcoming appropriations bill that blocks any funding for the National Institute of Science and Technology to “coordinate or consult” with the NSA or the Central Intelligence Agency “for the purpose of establishing cryptographic or computer standards that permit the warrantless electronic surveillance” by the spy agencies.
  • (18) "Flame was so advanced that only the world's top cryptographers could be able to implement it."
  • (19) Android 3.0 onwards has offered a setting which will encrypt the phone, using a cryptographic key generated from a user-provided passcode.
  • (20) When properly implemented and secured by relatively long keys, cryptographic algorithms can protect your data so thoroughly that all the computers now in existence, along with all the computers likely to ever be created, could labour until the sun went nova without uncovering the keys by “brute force” – ie trying every possible permutation of password.

Cryptology


Definition:

  • (n.) Secret or enigmatical language.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The other is the use of commercial cryptology, commercial encryption,” he said.
