Cryptography
Understanding Cryptography means the character is adept at pattern recognition, algorithm design, and the common methods to encrypt information and transport it. Competent characters have a chance to passively spot an attempt at encoding information by simply reading/viewing what may appear to be a normal text. This skill may also provide minor assistance in games which have full strategies such as Go and chess.
The same function may be accomplished using Artificial Intelligence, mechanical means or computerized logic processing.
