Can anyone explain the concepts of deciphering codes such as these?

There's no way, by looking at a string of characters, to tell what the ecryption algorithm is. And even if you know what the algorithm is, decryption typically needs a key.FateEternal said:Can anyone explain the concepts of deciphering codes such as these?

Danger said:I refer to the 'public key' encryption which even the NSA's computer power can't crack.
You're right about that, of course, but the reason that they gave for trying to classify the concept was that they can't. (That's not to say that they're telling the truth, though, which is never a sure thing.)shmoe said:Only the NSA knows what the NSA can break.
Deciphering is the process of converting a coded or encrypted message into a readable format. It involves using various techniques and methods to understand the meaning of the coded message.
Deciphering is important because it allows us to understand encrypted or hidden information. This can be useful in various fields such as intelligence, security, and communication.
A code is a system of symbols or letters used to represent messages or information. It is created to hide the meaning of the message from anyone who does not have the key to decipher it.
Some common techniques used in deciphering codes include frequency analysis, pattern recognition, and substitution. These techniques involve analyzing the frequency of letters or symbols, looking for patterns, and replacing letters or symbols with their corresponding counterparts.
Deciphering codes has many real-life applications, such as breaking enemy codes in war, decoding encrypted emails, and understanding ancient languages and scripts. It is also used in fields like cryptography, data encryption, and computer security.
