Secret Manhattan Project ciphers finally solved

Written by
Paul Relkin has broken the code of the decades-old Olum ciphers, and in the process developed a novel cryptanalysis method for decrypting transposition ciphers.

Feynman failed, and the ciphers went unsolved for more than 75 years. Paul Relkin, an American software developer and cryptanalysis enthusiast, has recently published the first […]
