Ed Scheidts Mayan Symbols - Can we solve the puzzle?

In this post I want to talk about a thing from the Kryptos universe that are not directly related to the statue. But i think it may be an indirect hint to some Kryptos related methods. The Mayan Symbols in Ed Scheidts driveway I think everyone who knows Kryptos knows Ed Scheidt. The former Chairman of the Cryptographic Center at the CIA and founder of the cryptosystems used around the Kryptos statue. As already shown in Part 4 of my Kryptos series, in the driveway of Ed Scheidts house, there are two symbols: Figure 1 - Garage driveway of Ed Scheidt We denote the left symbol set with $S_1$ and the right one with $S_2$. It took me a while to find his house on Google Maps - Street View. To save you some time, here is the link with a view on the driveway. I you go back in time in Streetview, you can see that the symbols were already there in 2012. But it is impossible to say when they were built. $S_1$ is clearly visible from the street, $S_2$ is hidden in the view. But you can u...

The Dorabella Cipher (Part 3)

Today, only a very small update regarding the Dorabella cipher.


Below is a timeline showing the 4 points in time when Elgar used his cipher symbols. If anyone knows of another point and can tell me what Elgar did with his symbols or what he wrote about them, please let me know.


Timeline:
1 - - - - - - - - - - 2 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4

1: 1885/86 - That is the Lisz-Fragment; the annotation he wrote on the side of some musical nodes [Figure 5,6, in Part 1].

2: 1896 - The Courage card set. He wrote his cipher symbols [Figure 3, in Part 2] on the first card of the set of nine cards on which he explained his solution of the Pall Mall Magazin cipher challenge.

3: 1897 - The Dorabella cipher [Figure 1, in Part 1].

4: 1920 - His notebook, that contains the example subsitutions [Figure 2, in Part 1].

Based on this timeline, one can see, that the timespan between $3$ and $4$ is $23$ years. Thus the cipher scheme approach written in his notebook could very well be some kind of effort to remind his old cipher system. The two events that are close in time are $2$ and $3$, that are the symbols from the Courage card set and the Dorabella cipher. Perhaps he used the idea of the challenge cipher (Nihilist cipher) in combination with his cipher symbols to construct the Dorabella cipher?

Kryptos - The Cipher (Part 4) - Correctly positioned decryption of the word BERLIN

EASTNORTHEAST - This is not exactly the hint Jim Sanborn (JS) gave for K4 on the 29th of January this year. He only gave NORTHEAST - which refers to the positions 26-34 of K4's plaintext.  Beside BERLIN and CLOCK it is the third revealed plaintext word of K4. However, also this hint does not seem to help much.  However, it just so happened, that a member in the yahoo kryptos group had a conversation with Jim Sanborn due to a submitted solution. Sandborn's answer to the question contained again the last clue which surprisingly was EASTNORTHEAST at position 22-34. Jim Sanborns compass rose at CIA There is disagreement if Jim revealed this on purpose or he did it accidentially, but the new extended clue seem to be serious and valid.Interestingly, EASTNORTHEAST is exactly the direction which is illustrated on the compass rose on one of the stones around kryptos, also created by Jim Sanborn. Actually, i dont really kn...

Kryptos - The Cipher (Part 1) - Introduction

Introduction. Since I think that KRYPTOS does not need any introduction, I will only give you a brief description of one of the most famous and only partially solved ciphers known today: KRYPTOS - Von Jim Sanborn - Jim Sanborn, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=8253447 KRYPTOS was constructed in Nov. 1990 on the ground of the CIA Headquarter in Langley, Virginia by Jim Sanborn It contains 4 ciphers (K1,K2,K3,K4) on its left side and some kind of Vigenère-Table on its right side K1, K2 and K3 were solved by James Gillogly in 1999. Afterwards, the CIA and later the NSA claimed that they had a solution to the first three ciphers at an earlier point in time Ed Scheidt, a cryptoanalyst and former director of the CIA, gave Sanborn the input of possible cryptographic techniques to use K1 is a variant of the Vigenère-Cipher (Quagmire 3) with the codewords KRYPTOS and PALIMPSES...

Kryptos - The Cipher (Part 3)

This post is about is more or less a collection of several approaches and facts that has been said as well as some speculations. B-ary integer representation According to [1] during a Question and Answer round, Jim Sanborn was asked again about the hint BERLIN. The question was if N decodes to B, Y decodes to E, etc, etc. and Jim confirmed it does. Emphatically . It is written, that Jim Sanborn rattled through the entire crib: \begin{align}   \texttt{N} &\stackrel{\text{decode}}{\rightarrow} \texttt{B} \\   \texttt{Y} &\stackrel{\text{decode}}{\rightarrow}  \texttt{E} \\   \texttt{P} &\stackrel{\text{decode}}{\rightarrow}  \texttt{R} \\   \texttt{V} &\stackrel{\text{decode}}{\rightarrow}  \texttt{L} \\   \texttt{T} &\stackrel{\text{decode}}{\rightarrow}  \texttt{I} \\   \texttt{T} &\stackrel{\text{decode}}{\rightarrow}  \texttt{N} \end{align} When the same q...
