In the first post about Crypto (short for Cryptography)we talked about a game that had some clues, this clues were ciphered with different methods of Cryptography. To describe how we got to solve them and learn the different methods we made a video and an audio, besides this post. This post is to help you with basics concepts so you can understand better the video and audio. The audio was made with a program called "Audacity". Audacity is an audio editor, and for the video we used VSDC, a video editor. In the video you'll see some basic explanations so you can understand how we got to the solutions.
There are different methods to cipher a message, the most known are: Caesar Cipher, Polyalphabetic Cipher and Visual Telegraphs. Our personal favorite is the Visual Telegraph, because it uses numbers to encrypt the messages and is the most original one, at least that's what we think.
Cryptography is an excellent way to send secret messages when you don't want that the whole world knows what you want to say so we think it's great, although they should be a webpage for "Crypto-fans" so we could post our ideas of new methods or exercise with old encrypted messages like the ones from wars, because the golden age of Cryptography was when the wars began so the armies could let their members know their plans without the enemies knowing.
We had some trouble doing this video but if you want to see a little of our process here it is:
