Comment on Attempted Forced Foursquare by random101naru
Say, I want to know something. Has anybody tried a “2-Square”? (also called a double playfair) Just wondering. Also, that “layer two” thing, (after hearing about a “double encryption”), got me...

I think yes but it’s usually wrapped into some really unnecessarily complicated many-step process that still yields nothing. I would say it’s worth considering to be sure, the problem I’ve always run...

I also do everything by hand as well. (& I’m quite used to it too) (Also, I mainly do it on Notepad, so I don’t have a bunch of scattered papers) I’m not a Programmer (yet), but I’m (currently)...

In regard to that “masking” thing, would it happen that the plaintext was “DEcrypted” instead of “ENcrypted”? Like “Decoding” the plaintext, and then encoding that cipher text to make the present...

It’s a good idea and when possible I’ve tried running it both ways but I haven’t always been good about that. If you put the ciphertext from K4 into a frequency program or even just do your own tick...

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...

Actually, now that I noticed, that make things a bit “redundant”.

Also, we’re replying a bit too much to the same comment! I’d start a new comment for the reply.

Hehe, okay fine then. So, any new leads yet? Did you get any contact info yet? If not, I can “try” to help thought I’m not sure how successful I’ll be at that. Still, Good Luck either way!

I’m waiting on Sanborn at this point but have had no luck with Ed Scheidt, David Stein and the NSA guys. At least the NSA said they’d forward my email even if they couldn’t promise an answer.

Great site! I wonder if you, or any of your readers can help me with this… A while ago, I searched and downloaded Sanborn’s ‘original encoding charts’ for K1 and K2 from the NY times website. While...

Awesome. Thanks, John! I agree the tableau is not appreciated in its importance. I think I’ve ignored it too much in my own efforts, most likely due to the difficulty of figuring out how to align it (I...

That is a good question. I don’t have them but you could try the YouTube videos that kryptosinfo uploaded a couple years ago. He put up copies of some of the tv interviews Sanborn did, you might find...

I’m glad you found something interesting through my work haha I have been fiddling around with the original K4 text and my Nulled K4 text since I sent it to K.Fan a few weeks ago(getting nowhere...

Comment on John’s Kryptos Efforts by Frank
Hi guys, I wouldn´t waste my time with the K4 ciphertext. IMHO, the K4 ciphertext is mumbo jumbo, a red herring. Mr. Sanborn described it as ‘THE PASSAGE DEBRIS, THAT ENCUMBERS THE LOWER PART OF THE...

Heh I both agree with you strongly and disagree strongly on different points. Not saying which John is right that we should be looking for keys, but in my mind k4 is fair game for that. It can encode...

I was so convinced that it was bifid that I completely forgot to remember that K4 is a 2-part cipher that involves a masking technique. With bifid you don’t need it but with K4 we must search for the...
