Ok, this is something I thought up in math, it's my first attempt at Cryptography... lets see if anyone can crack this... Posted Image
(numbers in brackets, including negatives, represent 1 letter. 01(-1) is a 3 letter word)

01(-1) (16)360137365 (15)488 (17)3(13) (1227 (15130 01(-1)(13) 949 02 (11)5!

This is the Data I used (although the message above alters all the numbers by adding or subtracting a number [the number is the same for all words]. This sequence is based upon letter frequencies in the english language):

A=5 B=20 C=18 D=11 E=1 F=14 G=16 H=3 I=6 J=23 K=22 L=10 M=12 N=8 O=4 P=19 Q=24 R=9 S=7 T=2 U=13 V=21 W=17 X=25 Y=15 Z=26

I know what your message is, but only because I read it on EV banter and brawl. Posted Image I won't spoil it, though. I made an attempt at it, but decided it was too nasty.

Here's one that I came up with a while ago:

71.31.61.41.7.61.0.59.13.61.7.7.7.19.67.59.5.0.89.71.43.0.79.31.19.31.0.41.67.43.0.2.7.0.
1.31.2.7.0.67.43.0.7.19.5.67.0.37.61.1.7.61.13.61.0.1.67.59.11.7.0.67.7.17.89.0.1.7.59.0.
61.2.19.67.5.71.37.67.7.

That's a direct copy-paste from somewhere on the boards (well, the text it comes from is).

Edit: it had messed up the format before. I added returns in, but they have no connection whatsoever with the coding.

Here you go, this is something NO ONE will get. I made this little thing up when I went insane during Bio today.

44958 - 807242 - 1068 - 410 - 1128342506 - 1068 - 492 - 24375809 - 817064272

If you are able to decode this, it makes a lot of sense (It took me half an hour not to agree with this). Actually, I don't really know a good way to convert it back to letters. I only have a real way to convert it to numbers.

I'm going to write up a little summary and put it up on [url="http://"http://members.aol.com/caalaklael/code.html"]members.aol.com/caalaklael/code.html[/url] .

none of these samples are sufficiently large to establish a mathematical pattern, and therefore literally impossible to crack.

Allright, I'll get something longer to code with mine.

Let's see:

There's already another sentence above of the same code. Tell me if you need more.

The best way to encode something is probably not to use any numbers, letters, or hyroglyphs at all--just random symbols that mean nothing in particular, but which match up to a letter, number or word (variably).

Or just use fractal encryption. Posted Image

The only truly unbreakable encryptions are one time use ciphers.

I made up a simple one can be made by makeing an encrypted alphabet for each letter, then after you decode the first letter, you use the alphabet for that letter to decode the next ciphered letter, and continue. This makes the order of the cipher n^2 as opposed to the order n ciphers you guys have here.
