Level 2

by Jörg Drobick, published on 2015-07-01

This challenge series is about the GRANIT cipher, a method that can be done manually. It has been used for instance by the former GDR spy Günter Guillaume till about 1960. Part 1, 2 and 3 of this series use the same keyword for generating the key matrix, but different permutation keys. In this part a codebook is used additionally, and the given ciphertext has 70 characters.
