Cryptologia is a unique scholarly journal devoted to all aspects of cryptology. This refereed quarterly began in 1977. Areas covered include security, history, codes and ciphers, mathematics, military science, espionage, cipher devices, literature, and ancient languages.

Complete information can be found at the journal's web site: http://www.dean.usma.edu/math/pubs/cryptologia/ .

We are pleased to announce two undergraduate paper competitions, each with a $300 cash prize and publication in Cryptologia, a refereed journal. Both the Annual Undergraduate Paper Competition in Cryptology and the Annual Greg Mellen Memorial Cryptology Scholarship Prize are sponsored by the journal Cryptologia to encourage the study of all aspects of cryptology in the undergraduate curricula. The topic may be in any area of cryptology -- technical, historical, and literary subjects. Papers must be no more than 20 typewritten pages in length, double spaced and fully referenced. Four copies must be submitted. Authors should keep one copy. Papers are to be original works that have not been published previously.

Closing date for both papers is 31 December for the year of entry. The winner(s) will be announced on 1 April with publication of the winning paper in a later issue of CRYPTOLOGIA. Papers will be judged by the editors of Cryptologia.
