Our taxonomies are, for better or worse, DAG-shaped. SSL, for example, can legitimately go under both "network communication" and "cryptography", which are quite different fields of computer science.
For the record, I don't agree with this. I could agree to having SSL under some sort of "security" category, but it's completely orthogonal to cryptography. I frequently use SSL without encryption because I just need authentication. /Martin -- Martin Sjögren martin@strakt.com Phone: +46 (0)31 7490880 Cell: +46 (0)739 169191 GPG key: http://www.strakt.com/~martin/gpg.html
