Ladies and Gentleman: I have a project for all of CAL, IT, Web Design, Health Science and Engineering. What is this project? Cracking a code, here are the details:


Kryptos is a sculpture located on the grounds of CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Installed in 1990, its thousands of characters contain encrypted messages, of which three have been solved (so far). There is still a fourth section at the bottom consisting of 97 or 98 characters which remains uncracked.

The right side panel is the key. Two people have decoded it to level three only. You are encouraged to use whatever tools you want including but not limited to cheating. The clues may be in the code, the structure, the location, the height, width, the pond, the orientation to the earth, anything.
Good Luck
