History (yyyy-mm-dd):

• 2022-12-02: Added MDPI Cryptography, I have also removed the journals' impact factor information since it is not feasible to keep track for each of them. However, I have retained the indexing information under Web Of Science. Previously, there was an SCI and an SCIE indexing. Based on my readings, both indexing now appears to have been merged into just SCIE.

• 2020-05-13: Added Mathematical Cryptology
