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.

We also consider reviews of new books on crypology and associated fields. Although it isn't always possible with more technical topics, it is preferred that the papers provide enough background to allow them to be read by advanced undergraduates.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. Proposals for book and conference reviews should be directed to the review editor.
