Subtracting the additive foursquare filled right to left
First look at what the foursquare would look Subtracting an additive from the ciphertext would be more in line with traditional decryption methods from a historical standpoint. -Kryptosfan Tagged:...

Subtracting the additive foursquare filled left to right
The other side now The idea is that we still don’t know which keyword is in which position so this gives us the chance to consider both and not falsely exclude a positive result. -Kryptosfan Tagged:...

R to L addition exclusion
Unless it’s a 15+ letter word that ends in U, this one won’t work I was trying to highlight where the letters we already had were. I was trying to conceptualize various ideas about vulnerabilities in...

L to R Subtraction exclusion
You run into a similar problem (see previous post) with the subtractive L to R It just doesn’t work -Kryptosfan Tagged: k4, kryptos, left to right, still a fan, subtraction

L to R Addition exclusion
I lost the paperwork for this one. The deal breaker for me was that there was an A at the 16th position, you can see it on the earlier post from before. The problem with that is there is no isogram...

Dumbed down version of K4 attached to K3
So I get this idea, could K4 be meant to stay attached to K3 during transposition to reorder the letters upon decipherment of K3 to put them in the correct order for K4 decryption. Instead of trying...

Alternatives for possible K3, K4 intercalations
This time I tried setting up two different possible PT where one would encrypt while the other decrypted and vice versa. This works but it would always be halfway insecure and all you’d have to do is...

K4 reversed
So someone gives you a “coded” message with a ? mark at the beginning, you will very likely assume it’s backwards. Oddly enough, I never considered it for K4 until now. All of this K3 transposition...

Kryptos re#hashed
So it turns out that if you take Kryptos K4 and reverse it and then attempt to remove an additive of the letters KRYPTOS, it is exactly what you’ve done before. Take the end of K4: AUEKCAR, I’ve...

K1 as Chiaroscuro
It’s a little bit of a tangent from K3/K4 transposition. Kryptos K1 meaning? Kind of obscure, until you remember he was an artist… At least this way it makes sense. “It’s a grey area” is the...

Kryptos K2 Is A Telegram
Maybe not the most significant one the world has ever seen but important enough to Kryptos fans. So take the X’s out and put in some stops: IT WAS TOTALLY INVISIBLE HOWS THAT POSSIBLE ? THEY USED THE...

The Identity of X and Q in part 3 of Kryptos

So I had an idea for the 4th part of Kryptos
So in Kryptos K4, there are probably 98 characters but only 97 letters with the ? being either the end of K3 or part of both K3 and K4. If you take 98 letters and check the multiples, you’ll find that...

Kryptos’ K4 as numbers
So if you want to manipulate the 4th part of Kryptos numerically, you need to replace the letters with 1-26 for A-Z. Since I’m working on an idea about how the ciphertext is arranged, I’ve put the...

A Horrible Spreadsheet of Kryptos Modular Arithmetic
I’m not even interested anymore but for posterity, here is my modular arithmetic of the keywords SANBORN and SCHEIDT into K4 of Kryptos once it has been split into two 7×7 grids. I did addition and...
