I’ve been thinking about that problem, too, especially when considering Google’s humungous n-gram datasets Using word N-grams would be awesome, but a…
About columnar transposition (for a 17×20 grid). I’ve done some work on this. I don’t think it’s actual after homophonic encoding … Wait, why would…
The OP says "I don’t know if this will be easy or hard. May take 2 hours, 2 days, 2 weeks?" He is apparently unaware of the programs that ar…
Just had an idea. Is it possible that Z did something different with bifid, such as writing out Polybius square coordinates for plaintext letters in h…
I’ve looked at bigrams at a distance for the 340 and found some unusual peaks (for my system) at distances of 15, 19 and 29. Are you talking about th…
I just used a 2-dimensional array. Array(count_of_ngrams,9), the second dimension are the 10 numbers which make up the n-gram. Order them alphabetical…
Trying to figure out which book Z might have been familiar with is probably a dead end after all. I was just thinking there could’ve been a popular fa…
the practical cryptography analyzer listed 6×6 bifid highly when looking at the 340. i don’t think zodiac was an expert cryptographer. i think it’s mo…
I have experimented with the range of 3 to 10-grams (at the same time). It’s not highly unpractical when just trying to solve one cipher, I used a 2-d…
In my own cynical opinion, many of these papers were written more as a goal of obtaining a degree by writing a thesis than actually making an effort a…
I know this is not exactly within the topic of this thread, but I can’t resist to share this. So I started reading different scientific papers that at…
Ah, right, I saw that table, but didn’t make the connection to Kevin Knight. I was hoping for a more formal paper, but I guess there isn’t much there …
I’ll post my "find", which nearly made me fall out of my chair when I saw it 🙂 …HISLORDTHINGTHEEFORMPEOPLETODAY… It was near the top, …
I have been thinking this may be in favor of my word search theory (not the graysmith) because there would still be some information to be found horiz…
You should read Nick Pellings idea’s for the 340 in this article:
