    Cryptology
In summary, cryptology is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication, involving encoding and decoding messages to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. Good cryptologists possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as a solid understanding of mathematics and computer science. Common methods used in cryptology include encryption, decryption, hashing, coding, and steganography. It has various real-world applications, such as secure communication systems, financial transactions, data protection, and national security. However, there are challenges in staying ahead of cyber threats and finding a balance between strong security and user convenience.

Here's a simple code I made in math class.
Code:
         46
   46    48 
   26    34                           
24 05 20 24       38
12 02 11 19       20
14 28 46 26       27
34 23 26 00    34 20
22 17 24 18 24 16 46
Solve the code!
Have fun!

(Lines are spaces, since it doesn't keep spaces in it)
Solve the code!
Have fun!

try it with the [ code ] tags. Did that line up how you wanted?

Yes, that's perfect. Thank you.

Anyway, how about someone to solve it?

BY THE WAY: Since 1 day passed, I can't edit my first post; Enigma's copy of the code is correct, because I screwed up fixing mine.
