Modern Algorithms Crack 18th Century Secret Code | Wired Science | Wired.com
The original document, nicknamed the Copiale Cipher, was written in the late
18th century and found in the East Berlin Academy after the Cold War. It’s
since been kept in a private collection, and the 105-page, slightly yellowed
tome has withheld its secrets ever since.
But this year, University of Southern California Viterbi School of
Engineering computer scientist Kevin Knight — an expert in translation, not
so much in cryptography — and colleagues Beáta Megyesi and Christiane
Schaefer of Uppsala University in Sweden, tracked down the document,
transcribed a machine-readable version and set to work cracking the
centuries-old code.
