Cryptography (n.) The practise and study of encryption and decryption - encoding data so that it can only be decoded by specific individuals. A system for encrypting and decrypting data is a cryptosystem. These usually involve an algorithm for combining the original data ("{plaintext") with one or more "keys" - numbers or strings of characters known only to the sender and/ or recipient. The resulting output is known as "{ciphertext".
The security of a cryptosystem usually depends on the secrecy of (some of) the keys rather than with the supposed secrecy of the algorithm. A strong cryptosystem has a large range of possible keys so that it is not possible to just try all possible keys (a "{brute force" approach). A strong cryptosystem will produce ciphertext which appears random to all standard statistical tests. A strong cryptosystem will resist all known previous methods for breaking codes ("{cryptanalysis").

Crystallography (n.) 晶體學，又稱結晶學，是一門以確定固體中原子（或離子）排列方式為目的的實驗科學。「晶體學」（crystallography）一詞原先僅指對各種晶體性質的研究，但隨著人們對物質在微觀尺度上認識的加深，其詞義已大大擴充。
在X射 線衍射晶體學提出之前（介紹見下文），人們對晶體的研究主要集中於晶體的點陣幾何上，包括測量各晶面相對於理論參考坐標系（晶體坐標軸）的夾角，以及建立 晶體點陣的對稱關係等等。夾角的測量用測角儀完成。每個晶面在三維空間中的位置用它們在一個立體球面坐標「網」上的投影點（一般稱為投影「極」）表示。坐 標網的又根據不同取法分為Wolff網和Lambert網。將一個晶體的各個晶面對應的極點在坐標網上畫出，並標出晶面相應的密勒指數，最終便可確定晶體的對稱性關係。
現代晶體學研究主要通過分析晶體對各種電磁波束或粒子束的衍射圖像來進行。輻射源除了最常用的X射線外，還包括電子束和中子束（根據德布羅意理論，這些基本粒子都具有波動性，參見條目波粒二象性），可以表現出和光波類似的性質）。晶體學家直接用輻射源的名字命名各種標定方法，如X射線衍射（常用英文縮寫XRD），中子衍射和電子衍射。
以上三種輻射源與晶體學試樣的作用方式有很大區別：X射 線主要被原子（或離子）的最外層價電子所散射；電子由於帶負電，會與包括原子核和核外電子在內的整個空間電荷分布場發生相互作用；中子不帶電且質量較大， 主要在與原子核發生碰撞時（碰撞的機率非常低）受到來自原子核的作用力；與此同時，由於中子自身的自旋磁矩不為零，它還會與原子（或離子）磁場相互作用。 這三種不同的作用方式適應晶體學中不同方面的研究。
Is the experimental science of determining the arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids (see crystal structure). The word "crystallography" derives from the Greek words crystallon "cold drop, frozen drop", with its meaning extending to all solids with some degree of transparency, and graphein "to write". In July 2012, the United Nations recognised the importance of the science of crystallography by proclaiming that 2014 would be the International Year of Crystallography.[1] X-ray crystallography is used to determine the structure of large biomolecules such as proteins. Before the development of X-ray diffraction crystallography (see below), the study of crystals was based on physical measurements of their geometry. This involved measuring the angles of crystal faces relative to each other and to theoretical reference axes (crystallographic axes), and establishing the symmetry of the crystal in question. This physical measurement is carried out using a goniometer. The position in 3D space of each crystal face is plotted on a stereographic net such as a Wulff net or Lambert net. The pole to each face is plotted on the net. Each point is labelled with its Miller index. The final plot allows the symmetry of the crystal to be established.
Crystallographic methods now depend on analysis of the diffraction patterns of a sample targeted by a beam of some type. X-rays are most commonly used; other beams used include electrons or neutrons. This is facilitated by the wave properties of the particles. Crystallographers often explicitly state the type of beam used, as in the terms X-ray crystallography, neutron diffraction and electron diffraction. These three types of radiation interact with the specimen in different ways.
X-rays interact with the spatial distribution of electrons in the sample.
Electrons are charged particles and therefore interact with the total charge distribution of both the atomic nuclei and the electrons of the sample.
Neutrons are scattered by the atomic nuclei through the strong nuclear forces, but in addition, the magnetic moment of neutrons is non-zero. They are therefore also scattered by magnetic fields. When neutrons are scattered from hydrogen-containing materials, they produce diffraction patterns with high noise levels. However, the material can sometimes be treated to substitute deuterium for hydrogen.
Because of these different forms of interaction, the three types of radiation are suitable for different crystallographic studies.
