Social Secrecy

Secrecy gives people a connection and a bond in knowing something that is only shared between them.  In this way cryptology affords everyone with a way to enhance the sharing of secrets without the fear of having them discovered.  This is a very social form of cryptology.  There is joy in creating a secret language and a code that only you and one other person know.  The joy is found through creation of something and in having a special bond through whatever is being shared.  Cryptology therefore is supremely social in the world of today.  Girls still make code names for boys they like.  People still write in a form of code through texts.  The idea of keeping a secret is very appealing to a lot of people because you are revered if you can keep a secret and the only way to prove that is to have someone tell you one.  Secrecy is social, and it keeps everyone thinking of how understand and describe the world in different ways in order to keep secrets.
