Kryptos is a sculpture / encrypted puzzle located at CIA headquarters in Langley, VA. It was designed by sculptor James Sanborn and CIA cryptographer Edward M. Scheidt. It has withstood scrutiny for many years, and only in the late 90's gave up some of its secrets. However, part 4 has remained a mystery, refusing to give up its secrets...till now...
Below are the various decryption tools used to decipher the Kryptos sculpture: Have fun!

 Main points of John Wilson's "Ulterior Motives":

The "layout" of the encoded message is *entirely* arbitrary when using this encoding method.
Suggestive words can be placed in the encoded form with suitable choice of parameters, text, and cosmetics.
My solution to Kryptos part 4 is not a "Bible Codes Fallacy" if it is intentionally designed that way.


Let me explain this a little more.

There is indeed the phenomena of a Bible Codes Fallacy, a scientific fallacy of trying to make meaningful words out of "scrambled" letters when you have a large enough source document, such as the Bible, and allow for any search pattern criteria. This method will work on almost any suitably large document, such as a book. Used in that way, the method can not be used to prove that the "found words" were intentional.

Now, there is a significant difference when we are talking about a specially designed encoding system used on a small plaintext.
(1) Start with a simple, small plaintext message, which will be encoded with modular transposition encoding.
(2) The message length will define the modulus factor.
(3) You now have (message length)^2 possible ways to encode with 2 parameters: Start Char and Increment Value
(4) Encoding will give a scrambled ciphertext, with occasional "English-looking" words in the mix, since the letter frequencies haven't changed.
(5) These "suggestive words" can be moved around by playing with the Start Char parameter
(6) Now then, small changes can be made to the original plaintext, with the ulterior motive of "fixing up" the suggestive words in the ciphertext.
(7) Small changes: delete letters or words, add letters or words, modify letters or words, ie. nulls, misspellings, synonyms, etc.
(8) You now have ~(avg message length)^2 * (# of possible ways to alter plaintext)=BIG! possible ways to get suggestive words into the ciphertext.
(9) The cosmetic layout of the ciphertext is entirely arbitrary. This allows the creation of vertical/diagonal words also.
(10) Now then, is it a Bible Codes Fallacy, for this specific example? For "Ulterior Motives", the first and last line of the ciphertext are intentional.
(11) Is it a Bible Codes Fallacy for Kryptos part 4? There are only 2 people who could tell us that and they aren't talking.  ;-)
(12) Since this is so easy to do, I will assume that the Kryptos designers are aware of it and are probably using it.
