First, do you mean cryptography or cryptology? According to the handy web dictionaries, cryptology is the study of cryptography or cryptanalysis. So, as you implement cryptography on your machine, you can study cryptology to really get a grasp of how it works and what the limitations are. :) Really, though there are all kinds of resources for cryptography on the web. You might try searching Linux cryptography on the web. Also, I believe there is a link to a non-US site on www.kernel.org that has kernel specific cryptography information. And last, I recall that the PGP documentation had a very good introduction to cryptography. HTH, Brian
