Abstract
For ages, cryptography has been used in military and diplomatic communication, in order to make the meaning of transmitted messages incomprehensible to unauthorized users.
As Francis Bacon said, ”The art of ciphering, half for relative an art of deciphering, by supposition unprofitable, but as things are, of great use”. Lately, W. Diffie and M. Hellman [126] point out the new directions in Cryptography.
In this chapter, we have presented some hyperstructures derived from generalized designs and some cryptographic interpretations on hyperstructures. As being a science in a continuous development, ciphering can still be improved, using a relative new theory, that one of Hyperstructure Theory.
