What is on Kryptós

This blog contains tributes to famous cryptographers and theorists, who through their lives' work, sculpted the safe Age of Information that we are living in. Besides that, information on some military machines, new modes of coding and my own tinkerings with the science of cyphers are also available for the reader to indulge in.

Development of the Kryptós URL


Kryptós (as kryptos), anagramised to 'kytsopr' by symmetric displacement
& hence, it is http://kytsopr.blogger.com/ ,
not http://kryptos.blogger.com/ (doesn't exist, as of yet)

Alan Mathison Turing:
Mathematician, Logician & Cryptographer.
Also known for his development of The Turing Machines (Fore-runner to modern computing).
-THE BOMBES THAT BROKE THE ENIGMA-
Fialka: The Russian Military Encryption Machine
(Model: M-125-3MP2) - The Sophisticated Encryptor

The 8 - rotor Enigma Cipher Machine,
captured at Mitterfels, Germany, on 25 April 1945
(The Machine That almost made Hitler the king of
the world & The Nazis, a race)

Bletchley Park: The British Code & Cypher School,
Workplace of Code - breaking Legends like:
Alan Turing (Cracking The Enigma),
James Ellis (The first to propose a public key cypher)
and Clifford Cocks (mathematician, who suggest prime irreversibility for coding)
