Oh! Oops! I didn't clearly understand this sentence the first time.

Yes, you want to learn about cryptography. Google for Bruce Schneier -

PGP is a form of cryptography. Basically, using something like PGP
should suit your needs, though if you're worried about the security of
the SSN, there are various other concerns to take into account.
