Lucifer the light

So this oozed out from the Putin-supporting conspirasphere:

[Ukrainian] Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, himself a former legal U.S. resident who has been linked to the crypto-Satanic Church of Scientology 

The passive-mood "has been linked" is a sign of modesty on the author's part, for the main source linking Yatsenyuk and Scientology is in fact that same author:*

Yatsenyuk [...] either dabbled in Scientology or was a full-fledge senior member of the cult, a position known as «Operating Thetan Level 6» or «OT-6».

But here at the Riddled Comparative Religion Department and Peach Teat Wholesalers we are more intrigued by this term "Crypto-Satanism" and would like to subscript to the relevant newsletters. Does the conflation of Satan and cryptography emanate from fundamentalist Christians, as an expression of their fear of the latter? Or conversely, is there perhaps a specific branch within the Satanist movement which holds that Lucifer smiles upon the use of strong cryptography, so that to encrypt one's correspondence is to glorify His divinity? Perhaps images and encomia to Satan are to be encoded within JPG files at pixel level by way of steganography, in the manner of musical backmasking.

"The devil is in the details," Another Kiwi vouchsafed.
* Madsen also seems to be the creative force behind the "former US resident" assertion.
