Cryptology
Cryptology incorporates cryptanalysis, or code breaking, as well as code making; it is a slightly more general subject area than cryptography.
Cryptoperiod
The time span necessary for a particular key to be authorized and to be used in a cryptographic system, which is a characteristic of PKI key management.
Cryptosecurity
The validation and security protection coming from the appropriate application of technically solid cryptosystems such as encrypted SSL certificates.
Cryptosystem
An absolute and completely functional system for cryptography. It includes a solid Crypto-algorithm, necessities for the system's required functions and proper key choice and administration.
Cypherpunk
A society of users and developers who are devoted to generating systems for anonymous communications and secure server network access. The cypherpunk community is by and large against invasion of privacy or surveillance of any kind, so law enforcement frequently views them negatively. There does seem to be a relation between certain cypherpunks and some groups that engage in software piracy and other kinds of stealing of intellectual property. Password protected systems utilizing SSL encryption are much less vulnerable.
