Uncracked codes and ciphers Anonymous 12/12/14 (Fri) 14:06:20 5baaf5 No.7

What does /cypher/ think about the famous uncracked codes?

For a long time I was obsessed with the Shugborough inscription (because of the holy grail connection), but it is so short that many possible explainations fit, and I seriously doubt anyone alive today could determine the truth. I only mention it here for amusement, as it was one of the first undecoded mesages I came across.

My current on-again-off-again obsession is the Dorabella cipher in pic related. Several solutions have been proposed, but they're all shit.

The cipher is particularly interesting to me because Elgar had previously written notes suggesting how it was created.

So, are these all impossible? One-time pads maybe? Or do we just need to find the correct attack?
