Cryptography Bonus: Crack this Message

by darkotter on Feb.12, 2010, under Guest speakers

Well, as a little bonus, I’ve decided to set you a little challenge. I’ve encrypted a message using the test key I generated while writing the posts so far in this series.

Can any of you tell me what it says? The most obvious method for this would be to crack the message, but hopefully this should be near impossible because of the encryption. Another possibility might be to use some form of social engineering. Perhaps even try and find a mutual trusted third party to catch me off my guard and simply ask me. The choice is up to you, I’m not going to any great lengths to keep it a secret.

You can get the message here. If you think you’ve managed to work out what the message is, drop me an e-mail here.
