Re: Challenge "Hill Cipher"

Congrats on solving the challenge, madness! And you are right, you can't assume that the plaintext starts on a word boundary.

Re: Challenge "Alberti Challenge - Part 2"

I get that. But I don't think it's relevant, the unicity distance is a function of the cipher system/cipher algorithm, not of the specific message. As I said i…

Not sure I can follow that logic. If, for example, you have a simple monoalphabetic substitution but the message does not contain alle available letters from t…

Dear George,

thanks for the nice comment and congratulations to being the first to solve the challenge!

Seems I messed up the unicity distance calculation, s…

The link in the challenge description is broken. This seems to be the correct link: https://github.com/Networc/networc.github.com/blob/master/_posts/2012-04-25…

Hi tryone144, thanks for fixing the verification process! I noticed that the challenge is now displayed as solved in my account. Happy Easter days to everybody!

Re: Challenge "ECDH-Key Exchange for Beginners"

 On April 14, 2022, 1:10 p.m.

I think I solved the affine cipher and got a solution which "looks right". It is rejected, however. Could anyone who already solved this check my solution? Th…

Re: Challenge "Kaskade-S/T — Part 1"

 On April 14, 2022, 1:09 p.m.

I easily found the key and have a 26key file which reproduces the plaintext when used with the provided Python code. However, like many others, I have trouble …

Re: Challenge "The SZ42 Challenge — Part 3"

 On March 15, 2022, 7:07 a.m.

To answer my own question: I accidentally swapped the two ciphers in my spreadsheet, so I submitted the wrong one's final 10 chars.

All good now ;-)

Re: Challenge "The SZ42 Challenge — Part 3"

 On March 14, 2022, 5:43 p.m.

My solution is rejected even though I'm pretty confident it is correct. I deciphered both cipher texts (including identifying the original sources of the plain…

Re: Challenge "The T52 Sturgeon Challenge — Part 1"

 On March 11, 2022, 7:54 a.m.

In the provided file 'T52 Functional Description', section 'Code Wheels', is an obvious error: it's stated 'those wheels have 47, 53, 59, 61, 64, 64, 67, 69, 7…

Re: Challenge "Cipher ID — Part 1"

 On March 4, 2022, 8:23 a.m.

My best submission has 498 out of 500 ciphers identified correctly, i.e. two characters are swapped compared to the correct result string (of course, my submit…

Re: Challenge "Lightweight Introduction to Lattices — Part 1"

 On Feb. 10, 2022, 12:59 p.m.

There are, by my count, 8 different symbols in the picture. I'm able to find a digit value for each of them satisfying the equilibrium condition on each vertex…

Re: Challenge "ADFGVX — Part 2"

 On Jan. 31, 2022, 1:25 p.m.

Besides the solution requested by the challenge's author there are several other solutions where the 6-letter substitution key does not represent a valid germa…

Great choice for the quote and it's author!
