Comment on Krypto Fans, Where are we at? by James

Here is a (confusing) method to encode CLOCK to MZFPK using the word GLOOM in a running key sequence. First perform a Ceasar shift of -2 on GLOOM to get EJMMK. Get the indices of EJMMK from a “reverse...

The sequence SPEEDE can encode BERLIN as follows: Perform Ceasar shift on SPEEDE to obtain AXMMLM. Convert the letters from a KRYPTOSABC alphabet to an ABC alphabet to get HYSSRS. (This is easy to do...

I have read a lot of this blob, but I ran into something today that seemed odd and maybe its covered here but I haven’t seen it. Take a look at the following: If you take the cypher text and remove the...

While contemplating some “masking” techniques, I tried the following: First, express the plain-text letters as their sequence number in a KYPTOSABC.. alphabet BERLINCLOCK = (8, 11, 1, 17, 15, 19, 9,...

Comment on Tracking Sanborn’s Bronze Marker by James

The sample in the photo has a letter-number combination stamped on it as well as a 4 digit year stamp. Perhaps the one Sanborn saw had similar markings which he incorporated somehow as clues. The...

Comment on Kryptos by Gary

This is my favorite post on this site. This idea was pursued quite extensively about 11 years ago. BTW, I think I know what YR in the Morse Code is, if anyone is interested.

I think “YR” is an incomplete “KYR” as seen in K1 – not unlike “interpretation” in the Morse Code, which is also incomplete. KYR decrypts to “QLU” – a clue. Knowing this is very useful for what to...

This is a musical idea. If I label the Morse categories with numbers 1=a,n 2-=K,w,g 3=j,Y,q 4-=d,u,R 5=c,x,P,z 6=b,f,l,V 7=e,i,S,h 8=T,m,O You would have Kryptos 5(V), in music 8 is the same as 1, so...

I’ll take this a step further. I think QLU is useful for how k4 is masked. First, if QLU is CLUE, could DIGETAL be DIG (whitespace) TALE INTERPRETATION (K3)? Could DETAILS EMERGED FROM THE MIST X be...

I tried adding “Yellow Brick Road” to the beginning of K-4 OBKRUOXOGHULBSO YELLOWBRICKROAD (NG)(UD) J(K)L Z (G)PK (F)D (QTS) The G is actually F and the F is G and QTS is TQS but that is really close...

So I’m using these weird masks – finding positions. One of them is the H in between YA and R- the raised letters. It’s RAY. The candle caused the flame to flicker. Also the A in desparatly is a...
