Topic: Cryptology (Read 998 times)
I recommend you read the bitcoin whitepaper and then spend time poking around on the bitcoin wiki. There's a ton of information in those wiki pages. Just start with general articles till you start generating more specific questions!
Which part are you wanting to understand?
Are you familiar with the concept of a digital signature?
Are you familiar with the concept of a hash?
Are you familiar with the concept of proof-of-work?
That's all the cryptography that bitcoin uses. Once you understand those three concepts, you understand bitcoin's cryptography.
If you want an introduction to how these concepts are used by bitcoin, I suggest reading the bitcoin whitepaper originally posted by Satoshi Nakamoto:

The Bitcoin protocol uses 2 things from cryptology, both of which have plenty of information to read on Wikipedia: Hash Functions and Digital Signatures.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to learn how the cryptology of Bitcoin works?
I realize this is a long process, I have done some youtubing as I was completely new to the idea of ciphers, crypto. I've learned ceasers, Vingere. Watched a video about Mod math as is seems that will be needed and it got me to thinking.. It would be nice if there was a course on the crypto of BTC like from the ground up.. teaching the needed math, etc.

If I'm not mistaken u want to learn about the cryptography behind Bitcoin.
You might like to start here => https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain/core-finance/money-and-banking/bitcoin/v/bitcoin-what-is-it
If U want to get paid some incentive for learning, www.CoinLearn.org is a good option.
This article may help U, but it requires cleanup => https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_bitcoin_works
