Examples of the suppression of magical belief and practice range from the eradication of neighboring polytheistic tribes by the early Hebrews, to the attempted suppression and eventual appropriation of pagan holidays by the Catholic Church, to the mingled motives of the Conquistadors, to the Salem witch trials of the Puritans.
These magical forces are said to exist in addition to and alongside the four fundamental forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force.

 Category:Cryptography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cryptography is, traditionally, the study of ways to convert information from its normal, comprehensible form into an obscured guise, unreadable without special knowledge — the practice of encryption.
Cryptography has come to be in widespread use by many civilians who may not have extraordinary needs for secrecy (at least by governmental standards).
Cryptography has come to be often transparently built into the infrastructure for computing and telecommunications; users may not even be aware of it in some cases.

 Magic (cryptography) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In World War II, Magic was the United States codename for intelligence derived from the cryptanalysis of PURPLE, a Japanese foreign office cipher.
One aspect of Magic remains controversial to this day - the amount of involvement, if any, the intercepts played in the issuing of United States Executive Order 9066, which lead to the internment of Japanese Americans living on the US West Coast.
The rationale for this is that several Magic intercepts discuss the development of a spy ring among Japanese Americans by the Japanese consulates, showing that the Japanese American community was an espionage risk.

 The World Wide Website of Ricky Jay
According to Michael Weber, he has a particular aversion to the "magic lumpen"-hoi polloi who congregate in magic clubs and at conventions, where they unabashedly seek to expropriate each other's secrets, meanwhile failing to grasp the critical distinction between doing tricks and creating a sense of wonder.
Magic is about working hard to discover a secret and making something out of it.
On a given night, one can see a great performer at the Magic Castle, but all too often the club is a tepid swamp of gossip, self-congratulation, and artistic larceny-a place where audiences who don't know better are fre- quently fed a bland diet of purloined ineptitude.

Slippery notes, "magic jargon was perhaps the closest fit" to this process, for Vinge recognized that magic's manipulative power operates in the ambiguous gap between sensation and internal imagery.
And nor was Trithemius's astrological magic limited to communication alone--as D. Walker noted, "it was also the means of acquiring universal knowledge, 'of everything that is happening in the world.'" [23] Trithemius thus aimed his coded ethereal communications towards the grandest dream of the Hermeticum: to know everything instantaneously, and thereby, presumably, to know God.
These magical machines, at once rigorous and phantasmic, were created by projecting systematic techniques of numerology and cryptography into a kind of free-space of mystical abstraction.

Cryptography, in particular public-key cryptography, has emerged in the last 20 years as an important discipline that is not only the subject of an enormous amount of research, but provides the foundation for information security in many applications.
While cryptography can still be a controversial topic in the programming community, Java has weathered that storm and provides a rich set of APIs that allow you, the developer, to effectively include cryptography in applications-if you know how.
Cryptography is not an easy subject, and this book will take a while to wade through for all but the most mathematically astute readers.

Examples of the "tricks" that can be performed with modern cryptographic techniques will be presented and each trick explored to see whether it is "science" (i.e., it can be proved to do what it seems to do) or "magic" (i.e., what it seems to do is, or may be, only an illusion).
The tricks considered will include no-break cryptography, no-leak secret sharing, no-key cryptography, no-see signatures, no-watch coin tossing, and no-knowledge proofs.
