Secondary Ciphertext #1 and #2
This is after the sequential filling of two 7×7 grids with Kryptos’ K4 and then applying SANBORN-SCHEIDT in a modular fashion. The hope is that one of this potential secondary ciphertexts will yield...

Possible Secondary Kryptos K4 Ciphertexts #5 and #6
This is what you get after modular subtraction and arithmetic of SANBORN-SCHEIDT from Kryptos K4 arranged in a 7×14 grid. -Kryptosfan Tagged: it all looks the same to me, just kidding, not really

Frequency Analysis of Possible Secondary Kryptos Ciphertexts
Thank you Simon Singh. His Black Chamber is frequently useful for Kryptos efforts. The previous posts generated some possible “secondary” ciphertexts after an attempt to remove an additive/subtractive...

Readdressing Kryptos K4 Rearrangement
So, can we rearrange K4 to align the letters K, R, Y, P, T, O, and S as a way to rearrange the secondary ciphertext back to the original ciphertext without losing NYPVTT=BERLIN? I looked to see where...

Double Letters as K4 Demarcations?
So in a continued effort to try and find some new ideas about K4, I wondered about the possibility of using the double letters to split up the ciphertext of K4. You could really use it for whatever...

Subtracting Additives from Double Letter Divisions of K4
Instead of spreading them out, I did the math for KRYTPOS, SANBORN, and SCHEIDT as possible superencipherment keywords. The idea is that if you divide K4 by sections split by double letters then you...

Subtracting Additives from Double Letter Divisions of K4 – Results
Here’s what they look like separately. Just eyeballing them, it didn’t seem like anything went back to plain-text frequencies. -Kryptosfan

Adding Subtractives from Double Letter Divisions of K4
This is what it would look like if you had to add the keywords back in. I always put stuff online but sometimes I don’t even like to see these wall-of-text worksheets. Keep in mind that even if it’s...

Adding Subtractives from Double Letter Divisions of K4 – Results
This is what the letter strings would look like if you added KRYPTOS, SANBORN and SCHEIDT back into K4 of Kryptos when it was split by double letters. I’m mostly looking at the number of Z’s, X’s and...

Not Sure How to Tell When Masking Technique Has Been Removed in Kryptos K4
Seriously, aside from seeing clearly plaintext letter frequencies, I’m not really sure what I’d analyze the strings of letters for exactly. Has anyone thought of ideas for how to tell if they’ve even...

Krypto Fans, Where are we at?
As we start to close out another year, where are we at with K4 and what have we learned? I’ll start: My recurring idea for K4 is a superencipherment (adding or subtracting a keyword mod26) on top of a...

Kryptos “K4 Syndrome”
Someone asked me to explain the term a little more in depth. K4 Syndrome is a term first coined by Gary Phillips. It is an attempt to describe a condition common to people who attempt to find a...
