Decrypting Kryptos

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."

  1. Is this news? or a wikipedia entry? by tod_miller · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yeah a lovely link, but what happened?

    They got kryptos running linux? Microsoft patents kryptos? apple sell mini-kryptos?

    is this a dupe? what is the relevance in my life!!! aaaaaaaargh :-)

    heh, it would own if kryptos was just a public key... maybe I should make a sculpture out of my public key... but when it expires... bah...
