Semi-Non-Random Cryptography Links & Discussion

The algorithm’s first few thousand attempts are always way, way off. But with every pass, it figures out a few words. And those isolated answers inch the algorithm closer and closer to the correct key. Eventually the computer finds the most statistically likely set of translation rules, the one that properly interprets as XYZ “yes” and ZYXWV as “quiet.”

“As a Mason you are not allowed to write downâ€"let alone publishâ€"your rituals,” Snoek said. So how do you spread your ideas? You publish esoteric rites as if they are exposuresâ€"public outings of Masonry. Except you publish in code, so only an elite cadre of fellow Masons can read the dangerous things you have to say. And when your mission is over, you stuff all the evidence into a box that doesn’t get opened for nearly 150 years.

And I did it in less than 10 seconds of reading the post.

I stumbled across this one earlier today, and decided what the hell, I have twenty-two minutes to kill, why not? By the time he trotted out the Akenaten glyphs at the fifteen minute mark, I was already hooked.

This video's narrator exhibits that rare skill of weaving obvious truth with hysterical bullshit to the extent that the product is equally entertaining, irrespective of whether the information is "real" or not. Recommended highly.

Also, there will be a quiz later.

The first one... yeah read about that one a couple months ago, around the time Coast did the Voynich manuscript show.  Hoping that story gets turned into a documentary someday.

Masons... I'm familiar with what I've seen called the "Masonic Cypher"  which is the letters of the alphabet wrote in two sets of a # and X, one with dots and the other without...

On the topic as a whole, speaking about cryptography, not cartography... there's been many cases over the years of famous codes and cyphers hitting the news, and not always about military matters or buried treasure.

"According to another top official also involved with the program, the NSA made an enormous breakthrough several years ago in its ability to cryptanalyze, or break, unfathomably complex encryption systems employed by not only governments around the world but also many average computer users in the US. The upshot, according to this official: “Everybody’s a target; everybody with communication is a target.”
