<G> I was really interested by cryptography in middle and elementary school, though I've drifted away from it. It's a great subject. I did take two courses at Cornell that taught us RSA encryption, Interpretation and Structure of Computer Programs, and Applicable Algebra. We coded a very pathetically small RSA system in the 1st, learned theory in the 2nd. ObConLang: Codes in y'all's conlangs? Chevraqis theoretically has a primitive sign-cipher used among magistrates, and some day I'll have to figure out drum codes for military use, but that's all I know about so far.
