Field notes
The page distinguishes its proposed field from applied cryptography, security engineering, science and technology studies, and security policy, arguing that none treats the transition as a whole. It names three principles: a break stays hidden while useful to an attacker; installed systems retire more slowly than threats arrive; and action may be needed before proof. The page cites Enigma, VENONA, DES, and SHA-1 in support of its framing.
