    Cryptology is the study of techniques for ensuring secrecy and authenticity of information, including cryptography for designing such techniques and cryptanalysis for defeating them. There are two main types of cryptographic algorithms - symmetric which use a single shared key, and public-key which use two keys: a private key and public key. Security attacks can be passive like unauthorized reading or traffic analysis, or active like modifying messages or denial of service. Security mechanisms detect, prevent or recover from attacks using methods such as encryption, digital signatures, and authentication protocols. Security services provide authentication, access control, confidentiality, integrity, nonrepudiation and availability.

    Cryptology: This is the study of techniques for ensuring the secrecy and/or authenticity of information.

    The two
    main branches of cryptology are cryptography, which is the study of the design of such techniques; and
    cryptanalysis, which deals with the defeating such techniques, to recover information, or forging information that
    will be accepted as authentic.

    Symmetric algorithms make use of a single shared key shared by two parties. Public-key
    algorithms make use of two keys: a private key known only to one party, and a public key, available to other parties.

    Security attacks are classified as either passive attacks, which include unauthorized reading of a message
    of file and traffic analysis; and active attacks, such as modification of messages or files, and denial of
    service.

    A security mechanism is any process (or a device incorporating such a process) that is designed to
    detect, prevent, or recover from a security attack. Examples of mechanisms are encryption algorithms,
    digital signatures, and authentication protocols.

    Security services include authentication, access control, data confidentiality, data integrity,
    nonrepudiation, and availability.
