Decrypting Kryptos

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the free-tshirt-to-the-winner dept.

angkor writes "Kryptos is a sculpture located on the grounds of CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Installed in 1990, its thousands of characters contain encrypted messages, of which three have been solved (so far). There is still a fourth section at the bottom consisting of 97 or 98 characters which remains uncracked."

    If you can't tell how many characters it has, no wonder it's so hard to crack.
