Code and Code Breaking

[Vev]

As the Russians famous KGB is known for intelligence and spying, the Hive should come up with our own coding system. The CyCon should not monopolise on the secrecy stakes, the Hive must compete. What I was hoping for was some friendly interfaction code breaking, so no ultra-hard encryption like 512bit key AES. We could go One-Time Pad for old time Cold War sake but that would be too mean and extremely difficult to crack, (unless someone intercepted the key).

I say we should start of easy maybe a simple subsitution cipher, although we should encrypt some of Russian and Chinese phrases to throw off people who are using frequency analysis.

If they managed to break it, we could go for Villeniuere (sp?) with a keyword.

All Hail the Glorious Hive!

key

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
funvoltairegsdqjphwkxbzymc


encrypted =
fggafigkaotqhiqxwaibo!


Now if anyone has information on how to decode the CyCon's message, feel free to add.

Somebody try this...

Letter Binary Code A 01000001 B 01000010 C 01000011 D 01000100 E 01000101 F 01000110 G 01000111 H 01001000 I 01001001 J 01001010 K 01001011 L 01001100 M 01001101 N 01001110 O 01001111 P 01010000 Q 01010001 R 01010010 S 01010011 T 01010100 U 01010101 V 01010110 W 01010111 X 01011000 Y 01011001 Z 01011010

Sorry about the big space

They are using ascii, if you see a 00010100 that is a space

They have a offset system so work from the back in 8 bit batches

[Jamski]

Well, Comrade Vev has cracked it. We have a complete transcript of a Cycon coded message. We MUST KEEP THIS HUSHED UP. DO NOT TELL THE CYCON

I reccommend Comrade Vev for the Order Of Lenin 1st Class.

[Voltaire]

To Comrade Vev, for going beyond the call of duty in his service to the State, Party, and People of the Human Hive. Long live the Revolution! Long live the Human Hive!

-Chairman Voltaire

[Vev]

Actually it was pretty easy, it is only the offset that is confusing. If someone can find an alphabet subsitution program, that would be good. Later in the pipeline we might introduce other forms of coding once the program for it is written.

[CivGeneral]

I have an Enigma Program installed in my computer. It works like the ones used in World War II. But I am not sure if this program is the one that you are looking for (Though it does Rearanges the letters around at the output)

[Vev]

That's cool! Can it do the 5 rotor version? The problem with Engima is that it si hard to crack by hand and unfortunately, I was hoping for code that is crackable so that people can have fun cracking it.

[Frankychan]

Excellent work, Comrdae Vev. Your work has ensured the safety of the Hive and it's people. I think if we were to make our own code, we should either create our own, or combine different codes into one. Using an Engima type code might be easy to break once someone figures out what it actually is.

[Micha]

What about the "Huffman" Code?
It has a simple principle of encoding and decoding, but if you are not involved in that stuff, it is very confusing (since the letters have different numbers of bits, e for example has 1bit while Z has 6 bits).
If you like, I could create a formula using this. Just tell me

[Haon]

We must start de-coding CyCon messages, past and present, immediately!

[Vev]

That will be a good idea since the CyCons are getting really into their binary talk, and the Hive must know everything!

[Haon]

Yes! This may very well be the long needed Upper Hand(tm) that we will use!

[Jamski]

I need a transcript of this very soon please
