With trembling hands i made a tiny breach in the upper lefthand corner and then widening the hole a little I inserted the candle and peered in. Slowly, desparatly slowly, the remains of passage debris that encumbered the lower part of the doorway was removed. The section III involves a different kind of encryption method.
TRANSPOSITION CIPHER HOW TO
In our last posts about KRYPTOS, we learned how to break a Vigenère code and we apply this knowledge to decode the entire section I and II. The right-hand side of the sculpture comprises a keyed Vigenère encryption tableau, consisting of 867 letters. The ciphertext on the left-hand side of the sculpture (as seen from the courtyard) of the main sculpture contains 869 characters in total (865 letters and 4 question marks).

One would think that as long as the solution is correct, the method used to get it is irrelevant. Why? Because I have great doubts that Sanborn - an artist - has used complex mathematical transformation to code Section III. I will tell you later how the NSA people broke Section III but today I will present you a novel and rather unusual solution.
In a previous post, we looked at the inside story of the NSA people who took the challenge to decrypt - part of - the KRYPTOS code. For the moment – an eternity it must have seemed to the others standing by – I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand in suspense any longer, inquired anxiously “Can you see anything?”, it was all I could do to get out the words “Yes, wonderful things”. Presently, details of the room emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues and gold – everywhere the glint of gold. With trembling hands, I made a tiny breach in the upper left hand corner… widening the hole a little, I inserted the candle and peered in… at first I could see nothing, the hot air escaping from the chamber causing the candle to flicker.
