encript...

[PunkProgJT]

Well, I'm a newbie. Not hard to guess but I am pretty good at some easy languages and I am learning C now. But I have always had an interest in encription and I have been wandering around computer and book stores for information about it. I want to learn how to do this and all i can find on the internet is encription tools. I am at a loss for where to go next and I wanted to ask people who know what they are doing for some advice and help me along on to a tutorial or a site or somethig that can give me a clue. Well thanks for at least taking to time to read this.
