Define "active" - I'm still breathing, yes, thanks for asking ;) But I'm more of a pussycat than a wolverine. Can I still be in the club? _____ From: Charles...
I am stuck on the following cipher: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=98d386cb-1ec5- 4703-93ef-db82be17acc4 It's one used in a geocache. I...
Hi, Once again, it is time to consider pencil and paper ciphers. Has anyone been exploring new methods in this area? My thoughts are: 1> this type of cipher...
I heard there is a way to hear a voice using plotted points and prime numbers, and the secret to prime number placement is the message in this voice that is...
Is there any real market for pen and paper encryption anymore? It seems that with all of the computer algorhytms available for creating seemingly unbreakable...
... It would have been pretty strong before, say, WWI (when Painvin broke ADFGVX). With a computer and some plaintext, it would be trivial to break nowadays. ...
Well, I am not sure what you mean by market. If you are asking if it is worth trying to develop a decent pen and paper encryption method, perhaps yes. There...
How would I go about tackling this cipher? I've found this cipher while learning about codes. I've been working on this for a month and would like to now what...
Classically, you would start by doing letter frequencies and double letter frequencies. That is, you would theoretically know in what language the cipher was...
Hi, I know nothing about ciphering but I need to solve one... So I am asking the group for help. From what I have read, its a Seriated Playfiar(but what do I...
Another Geocacher? :-) It seems that cyphers are becomming more popular with geocaching these days. It's fun to run around and find the caches but then again...
... help! Can't be done... Well, maybe it can but not by us. Do you have any friends with the NSA? ;-) The first problem is that we have NO clue what form of...

I know that 2 ciphertexts (from the Solitaire cipher) have been created using the same keyphrase. So, how do I decrypt the 2 ciphertexts? On Bruce Schneier's...
