Cryptography is not OS dependent. All of the accepted algorithms are implemented in pretty much all Linux cryptographic extensions.

But i need concept of cryptography for Linux only ...

The concept for cryptography isn't Linux only. What are you trying to find out?

zinnia,

Try this for starters:

There is no such thing as cryptography only for Linux. The blog post cited above is great article on common implementations of cryptography within Linux, but I have a lot of those implementations running on my Windows PC too, errrr, rather on my Windows PC only.

zinnia,

I suggest you use Google to search for "MOOCS cryptography".

Massive Open Online Courses (free).
