Global Market

Today information and communication markets are more and more subject to globalization and concentration. World-Information.Org examines the question to which extent a free market of competitors is existent or in how far the interlocking of the big players has created virtual cartels. It also reviews the trend to deregulation and makes visible the structure of global capitalism and its institutions.

some essential definitions

some essential definitions in the field of cryptography are:
- cryptoanalysis
- cryptology
- ciphers

"Few false ideas have more firmly gripped the minds of so many intelligent men than the one that, if they just tried, they could invent a cipher that no one could break." (David Kahn)

codes
plaintext
ciphertext
to encipher/encode
to decipher/decode

The variants of encryption systems are endless.
For deciphering there exists always the same game of trial and error (first guessing the encryption method, then the code). A help to do so is pruning. Once, after a more or less long or short period a code/cipher breaks. Monoalphabetic ciphers can be broken easily and of course are no longer used today but for games.
