Cryptology for Kids Introduction: A code is a system of symbols, letters, words, or signals that are used instead of ordinary words and numbers to send messages or store information. A code is used to keep the message short or to keep it secret.
Codes and ciphers are forms of secret communication. How is cryptology used? Secret writing has been employed about as long as writing has existed. In ancient times when messages were carried by foot for miles, kings and rulers would encrypt the letters they would send to allies.
