Unbreakable Ciphers
Unbreakable Ciphers
Cryptography, a strategy for putting away and transmitting information in a specific frame with the goal that only those for whom it is planned can read and process it. It protects data from theft or alteration, furthermore can also be used for authentication and authorization of user.
Plain text or message is converted to unreadable form, i.e cipher text, if we go through history there are many ciphers that are not yet solved; some of them are described here;
Beale Cipher
The Beale cipher was an arrangement of three magical ciphertexts, the primary cipher which is yet unsolved portrays the area where the treasure is hidden, the second ciphertext, which is fathomed, depicts the substance and content of the treasure, and the third cipher which is also unsolved, records the names of the hidden treasure proprietors and their closest relative. these ciphers are also referred to as Beale papers.
DoraBella Cipher
The Dorabella Cipher is a message composed by author Edward Elgar to Dora Penny in 1897. Dora never deciphered it and its significance stays obscure.
The cipher, consisting of 87 characters spread over 3 lines, appears to be made up from 24 symbols, each symbol consisting of 1, 2, or 3 approximate semicircles oriented in multiple directions. A small dot appears after the fifth character on the third line.
Ricky McCormick’s Cipher
In 1999, Two manually written records were found in the pockets of murder casualty Ricky McCormick when his body was found in a field in St. Charles County, Missouri.
The FBI, and other services, have tried decoding the notes unsuccessfully. The FBI has posted it online asking for help. If they have investigated it, and then asked for help, we can assume it’s not just a case of bad spelling and handwriting.
The Blitz Ciphers
The Blitz Ciphers were found after WWII. They were found in wooden boxes hid in the mass of an East London basement that German shelling had uncovered. Only eight page scans have been published yet.
Chinese Gold Bar Ciphers
General Wang of Shanghai, China received seven gold bars like 1933. The design of those gold bars were similar to the metal certificates, people get when make deposits in U.S. banks. but there were mysterious pictures and writings engraved on these bars in the form of Chinese writing, and Latin cryptograms.
The true reason behind General Wang receiving such an elaborate gift from a secret admirer would be a lot easier to determine if we knew what in the world the gold bars said. Able to read them or not, we looked at the engravings and we’re pretty sure there were some big bucks involved in the transaction.
In a NutShell
The history of ciphers and cryptography is very deep and dark also, the era from 1800 to World War II has many fascinating events.
“Cryptography is the essential building block of independence for organisations on the Internet, just like armies are the essential building blocks of states, because otherwise one state just takes over another.”
