Direction needed for type of study
Before I put my foot in my mouth.due to a lack of information, is there a specific direction of study that would enable understanding of 'bugs' and much of the lingo without referring to the Glossary for every word in a sentence.? I'm still stuck in a PGP key definition to sort out an earlier 'mis-tap".
it is difficult to pin point an exact problem when I don't know what I don't know.

In your previous question, you mostly seemed to get stuck in trying to understand cryptography, which is a specialist professional field of its own and not something that can be picked up immediately in the space of a few articles. (It's not my field as such either, though I have a bit of relevant training and experience.) If you're serious about wanting to pick that up, then I'd recommend the parts of https:/
But other than that, your question is too broad for me to be able to answer effectively, because it's essentially "how do I study?". Perhaps: try to work out what the relevant top-level concepts might be for whatever you're trying to understand, find good-quality primers for those, and give yourself enough time and energy to understand those properly; it's normally the case that you need to grasp the basic concepts ("what problem is this piece of technology trying to solve?") before you can evaluate anything else in that field.
Can you help with this problem?
