Say, after I thought about it for a while, I was thinking that maybe Kryptos might NOT be a Transposition Cipher at all, because of when JS gave that “Berlin hint”. Although I’m not sure if this is correct because there might a other ways to do for the Berlin ciphertext to be in the same position after the transitions. For example:
(This is one way that I think might work to make the ciphertext letter positioning corresponding to the plaintext letter positioning in the same positions)
Plaintext –> Transposition –> Encryption –> then finally another Transposition back to plaintext order (corresponding plaintext-ciphertext letters are placed back into the same positioning as the original plaintext order)
A bit vague but you get the idea right?
Basically, if a Transposition was used, I think it should be done twice to make the cipher-plaintext letter positioning the same as the original plaintext letter positioning.
(Phew! Now that was a bit of typing there. – I think… Maybe? – I can’t really tell from where I’m typing it.)
Note: Also, please know that I have not tested it yet.
