Whats a Cryptographer?
Literally, “cryptographer” means code-writer. A person working in cryptography might investigate ways to keep information secret, or ways to break the code of messages. You may have heard about cryptographers working for the CIA or the National Security Agency (NSA). Not all cryptographers work in government or the military. The challenges of keeping e-mail and online payments private means that the computer industry needs people who understand cryptography as well. A cryptographer with a degree in math can earn between $36,000 and $51,000 a year. What Are You Like?
