密碼學(xué)是世界上唯一一本研究歷史、技術(shù)和當(dāng)今世界上最重要的智能形式——通信智能的影響的學(xué)術(shù)期刊。它促進(jìn)了密碼學(xué)各個(gè)方面的研究——技術(shù)方面、歷史方面、教育方面和文化方面。歷史論文可能涵蓋從古代到今天的主題，并闡明密碼學(xué)在世界任何地方的作用。它們可能是深度論文，包含大量“來(lái)自檔案”的簡(jiǎn)短參考文獻(xiàn)，這些文獻(xiàn)再現(xiàn)了以前沒(méi)有發(fā)表過(guò)的文件。后者應(yīng)該放在學(xué)術(shù)介紹和/或之后的語(yǔ)境中。我們將考慮發(fā)表有關(guān)密碼學(xué)創(chuàng)新教學(xué)方法和如何讓更多人了解這門學(xué)科的論文，并鼓勵(lì)發(fā)表密碼分析重要系統(tǒng)的論文。我們也歡迎有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的研究人員提出新的密碼系統(tǒng)的建議。

Cryptologia is the only scholarly journal in the world dealing with the history, the technology, and the effect of the most important form of intelligence in the world today – communications intelligence. It fosters the study of all aspects of cryptology -- technical as well as historical, pedagogical, and cultural. Historical papers may cover topics from the ancient past to today and illuminate the role of cryptology anywhere in the world. They may be in depth papers with scores of references of short "From the Archives" pieces, which reproduce documents that have not previously been published. The latter should be placed in context by scholarly introductions and/or afterward. Papers reporting on innovative approaches to teaching cryptology and ways of bringing the subject to a wider audience will receive consideration, and papers cryptanalyzing important systems are encouraged. We also welcome proposals for new cryptosystems by experienced researchers.
