The details of specific implementations are sometimes considered secret, but broadly speaking the mathematics of both projections and cryptography are extremely public. For example, GCJ-02 (the projection being obliquely referenced by the GP) is just WGS-84 + "noise". For cryptography, you can read any of the excellent textbooks and educational resources available (e.g. [0]).
