The world's most difficult code to decipher: no one has been able to solve it so far!

Speaking of passwords, we may associate with a very long string of numbers, but in fact more than that, many passwords in history are very peculiar, and even passed down for a hundred years and a thousand years can not be solved. The world's most difficult to decipher code, it is a sculpture work, located on the square of the United States Central Intelligence Agency, so far no one can solve it, interested friends to take a look!

The world's most difficult code to decipher

This sculpture, made of many colors of stone and bronze, is called Kryptostos, which means "hidden" in Greek. The sculpture was built in 1990 by the famous American artist James Sanborn and is currently located in the garden of the CIA. But it is not an ordinary sculpture, it carries a code character from 1990, no one has been able to crack.

Kryptoos is shaped as if it were a scroll-like bronze screen, and as if it were a page of coded documents just printed out from the printer. In short, it looks very mysterious. What is even more mysterious is that the sculpture of Kryptostos contains 865 characters and a Vigenère cipher table, which form a string of codes containing an encrypted message. This cipher, known as the most difficult to decipher cipher in the world.

 

The king of the cipher world bombing combination


This cipher is a collaboration between American artist James Sanborn and Edward Shaite, former head of the CIA's Cryptologic Decipher Center. The combination of an imaginative artist and an experienced code-breaking specialist is the king of the cipher world.

The sculpture was completed in 1990, and the code on it was released in 1990. Since its completion, this string of codes has attracted countless cryptography enthusiasts and professional codebreakers from all over the world. However, to this day, cryptologists and experts from all over the world have failed to decipher the full contents of this string of codes after more than thirty years of efforts.

 

 

Progress in deciphering the code


At present, some progress has been made in deciphering this string of codes, with a number of scientists and analysts from all over the world claiming to have deciphered parts of the contents, although Mr. James Sanborn, the builder of the sculpture, claims that, at present, no one has been able to decipher the code completely and correctly. I wonder what this incredibly mysterious string of codes actually contains?
