密碼學是世界上唯一一本研究歷史、技術和當今世界上最重要的智能形式——通信智能的影響的學術期刊。它促進了密碼學各個方面的研究——技術方面、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，并闡明密碼學在世界任何地方的作用。它們可能是深度論文，包含大量“來自檔案”的簡短參考文獻，這些文獻再現了以前沒有發表過的文件。后者應該放在學術介紹和/或之后的語境中。我們將考慮發表有關密碼學創新教學方法和如何讓更多人了解這門學科的論文，并鼓勵發表密碼分析重要系統的論文。我們也歡迎有經驗的研究人員提出新的密碼系統的建議。

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.
