Title: A Look at possible overlapping sub-ciphers A & B
Post by: Cat on July 06, 2013, 12:40:43 AM
Right now, I am working on the premise that there are two ciphers that overlap each other, and that  neither use a polybius square but a simple alphabet count after a certain point.

"D'Agapeyeff Cipher" number series (original format)

75628 28591 62916 48164 91748 58464 74748 28483 81638 18174

Further broken down into grid pairs with the last final three "0"s dropped:

75 62 82 85 91 62 91 64 81 64 91 74 85 84
64 74 74 82 84 83 81 63 81 81 74 74 82 62

63 75 82 81 64 83 63 82 85 81 63 63 63 04
74 81 91 91 84 63 85 84 65 64 85 65 62 94
62 62 85 91 85 91 74 91 72 75 64 65 75 71

72 84 62 82 83 75 81 64 75 74 85 81 62 92

Numbers in the "AB AB AB AB . . ." series (read from left to right, top to bottom) are then re-GROUPED as "AAAA . . . " and "BBBB . . ." for two, separate messages.


Cipher B: Numbers need to be re-divided again, and then read and copied backwards, after assigning their value on an "A to Z" 26 letter scale.


52 25 12 14 14 14 54 = [4 5-14-4 1-14 1-22-5 2-5] = D END AA DA WE BE
44 42 43 13 11 44 22 = [2-24 14 1 13 3 24 4 4 4] = BX N AMB DDDD
45 32 41 54 53 55 53 =

24 22 35 14 54 51 22 = [2-12-5-4 5 14-5-23-2 24] = B LED NEW BX

I will post more as it goes, but thought people might be interested in this new theory enough for me to ask for opinions.
