Taxonomy of crypto applications
Trying to make sense of the various applications of crypto,
I came up with an illustration of their 'dependancies' at
http://rattler.otc.net/crypto/mydocs/taxonomy.gif
This picture illustrates topics that you should learn
before others.
For instance, digital watermarking depends on steganography
and message-authentication codes. Anonymity requires
understanding traffic mixing and practical encryption; practical
encryption requires understanding public and secret key encryption.
FWIW. Comments welcome.
