Comment on K4 by anonimus
Már korábban írtam, hogy a megfejtés egy konkrét földrajzi hely, csak senki nem figyel. A bejegyzéseimet meg törölték. Persze ez nem véletlen, mert véletlenek nincsenek. Lehet hogy mégis figyel valaki. Hogy lehet hogy még senki nem keresett meg zsíros állással.

Comment on Is K4 a Bifid Cipher? by Geoff
kryptosfan, I like your site. I just started looking at Kyrptos4 yesterday. Frequency distribution looks exactly like a bifid with an even period because it is leveled out to some extent, but not entirely. There is a high count of period 21 bigram repeats, and another small spike at 42. Redraft the message into 21 columns and you will see what I mean. At that period, there are two repeating trigrams. I find it interesting that the clue BERLINCLOCK starts at the 64th position, which is 21*3+1. A bifid that encodes plaintext in chunks of 42 plaintext would create period 21 bigram repeats, but not so many at period 42. I shuffled the message 500 times to see if you could have as many period 21 bigram repeats, and that was easy to duplicate. However, out of the 500 shuffles, there were only four where there were as many period x repeats as with period 21, and also as many period x * 2 repeats as with period 42. Given that there are so many period 21 bigram repeats, and the clue starts at the 64th position, I think that the period 21 repeats may be significant.

Howdy all,
I glanced at the wiki clock cryptography section and noticed, Wheel Setting,,
‘it was transmitted underground” The GRU refers, IMWO, to the Pull Wheel on enigma.
The enigma messages were transmitted under GRU (pull wheel command)
who knows only ww ww refers, again imwo, to wetter wetter transmitted each 0630am by the Germans, this again helped with enigmas downfall.
I believe the berlin clock and the corresponding lie in the sculpture, ANTIPODES.
the bottom K2 section begins with END. (antipodic) I referred above and elsewhere about the entirety of the sculpture being the story of Colossus/Bletchley Park. Colossus broke the High German Command in REVERSE. The broken message initiated with the END of the message.
again, K3 refers to Tuttes 1+2 Break-in (Tuts breakin story is an excellent coverstory and Hint)
again, it has been queried/commented k4 might be a OTP (one time pad) some colossus were kept by the Brits to decrypt east European messages. This did not work on Russian messages as the Ruskies had stolen colossus info during WWII. Also, WW is how World War II was written in the press for many years. Colossus was “buried” datawise from circa 1945-1990.
If someone would run a Colossus emulator on k4, I think they would like the outcome.
Colossus ran at an approximated Clock speed of 55, as compared to todays computer ability.
I believe this is correct and this what I read in the Colossus Rebuild project contest won by the German gentleman. Colossus was utilized to break the German High command (Berlin)messages, and a German of the 2000’s won the Colossus rebuild contest. What goes around….
imwo, and I mention for an example WW having two separate utilizations above,
mr Scheidt coded all this well. Mr Sanborn imwo, did some and definitely worked up the visuals,
however mr Scheidt was known as the deep throat of encryption.
Thanks and congrats to all whom have made the journe this far!!
enjoi and ONLY THE BEST TUYA

I wrote a brute force Enigma cracker based on the “BERLIN” crib back before “CLOCK” was given. The “K” in “CLOCK” seems to eliminate Enigma, unless there’s some other process involved.

out of curiousity, was your method given verification? Not asking for anything but I’d like to know if it has actually been decoded

Comment on Krypto Fans, Where are we at? by poliana2016
Hi, k4 was solved by me a couple of days ago, although I worked out the key almost immediately I began to look at the code. The first letter of the plaintext is ‘m’ and the last letter is ‘r’. The plaintext also contains the trifids ‘win’ and ‘act’. Please contact Jim Sanborn for confirmation. Love and best wishes, The Wise Beggar.

I have contacted Mr Sanborn and he know of no solution to K4 by anyone. You may need to contact him again if you still think you have the answer.

Hi, I believe BERLIN CLOCK does not constitute part of the plaintext of K4. I believe Mr Sanborn employed these words to highlight one of the Encryption methods used in the creation of K4 and as a clue to the subject matter of K4.
Further observations on the clues offered by Mr Sanborn include:
1, neither the encryption of Berlin nor Clock contains a vowel
2, the final letter of both berliN and clocK appears in the encryption
3, the two letters that appear twice: “L” – once in BERLIN and once in CLOCK – (V and Z), and “C” – twice in CLOCK (M and P) suggests a simple substitution cipher
4, finally, the first 10 letters of the two clues offered by Mr Sanborn have a most striking feature when encrypted which relates to an old English proverb on secrecy referenced at Matthew 6.3 (I suspect that none of you, including Elonka Dunin, can touch-type).
Love and best wishes, The Wise Beggar.

Lol, three years later and I come across an email stating anonimus has commented, that sparks my interest again. I’m “a” above.
Thought I should add this article about a new clue being provided by Sanborn from the end of 2014:

CLOCK will help with decoding the entirety of K4, but the real key is in BERLIN.
Primarily in the relation TT has with IN.
Something critical happens with double letter sets that alters the alphabetical arrangement of cypher to solution.
TT is the sixth set of double letters.
BERLIN falls within the sixth sequence.
The second T is six letters off from N.
666 the cypher of the beast lmao!
Seriously though I spent about an hour playing with letters and numbers to find those coincidental 6’s so I have to share it even if just as a joke to ease my frustration 😛
And I do think that since, as you pointed out, the K’s line up, I have a hunch that perhaps the lettering changes somehow.
And something I noticed. In his first revelation he showed BERLIN over the K4 lettering. But with the CLOCK it’s actually shown replacing the K4 lettering, so could it be that the TT is a signal to switch the direction of the lettering… to explain, after TT you would go MZFPK = KCOLC.
This would explain why it starts with a question mark, if the first question (and if it is even a question) is actually backwards. Following that logic, by the time you reach the sixth set that contains TT, you would be going forwards for BERLIN’s segment, then backwards for CLOCK’s segment.
I messed with that thinking a bit and tried making some translations, but my piece of paper looks like something the zodiac killer would have laying around his apartment, nothing seemed to be panning out, and the inside of my brain feels even messier than the sheets of paper, so I need to sleep now.
Have fun, cause that’s all that really matters 🙂

Vic,
Thanks for the enigma cracker comment, enigma elimination. I believe if you utilized a Colossus -II app, you would break K-4. I beg allowance for a moment, The German who won the Colossus rebuild project utilized an ADA based program, and solved the transmissions in circa 30 seconds, with 5+year old computers.
GARY,
THANKS to you for your original site.
the breaking down of the copperplate at the entrance into the pyramid presentation was where I saw,
ID GIVE RESLT THAT U C IS ID ALLOW U (on the left side)
the right side started with,
IF NO POEMS I C

Comment on Kryptos by OBKR
Hello. I’ve posted a picture on Twitter that may assist in K4. I’ve also a second *old* abandoned idea. Not sure how else to share this with the community 🙂
1) Kryptos K4 “T is your position”: Wrap the lines to spell KRYPTOS, arrange them to spell BERLIN, line up for CLOCK
2) Some older work on K4 – cascading alphabets: TTMZF becomes INCLO from BERLINCLOCK. HUAUE becomes WOMAN. BWFLRVQQP = HOURGLASS. Bit of a huge excel sheet but could share if interested.

Comment on Morse “E’s” by BREAKER
I have found these are the numbers of a Numbers Station….. gives you a pattern that starts with 216-xxx-xxxx
The series of numbers is not a known phone number…..but also it shows that there is a serious clue to be pondered…..
Now the strange part is it also speaks of the DIGIT TALLY when making the immediate start of the translation with ee’s making no mistakes about the cipher holding a numerical and/or DIGITal significance as in GIVE ME YOUR DIGITS BABY, LETS MEET UP……
The DIGIT INTERPRETATION is a Morse Transposition that converts the Morse to Binary and then back to MORSE to deliver a totally different message.
Also in the report Sanborn made to the CIA, he said that there was an “ancient text” included on the flat piece of the puzzle and that it was literally sandwiched in between layers.
So are we supposed to believe that the actual art piece has to be dug up and the top layer removed to see the ancient text and characters beneath it?

Comment on Morse Code by Dan
Love the site – I want to point out that Nov 3 is not just the anniversary of the dedication of Kryptos and the date of the TUT find, but also the Berlin Accord where the world decided to use Morse code (SOS) as the standard form of emergency communication. It was a big deal. I’m also interested in steno keyboards since JS mentioned steno in K4. Top left (next to a small space) on most steno keyboards it the letter T. Old steno paper looks a bit like Kryptos.
