In the second issue of Cryptologia, way back in 1977, a contributor noted, “The golden age of decipherment may have been the first half of the nineteenth century, when the ancient tongues of the Near East were loosened.” This, of course, refers to writings that were not intended for secrecy, such as Egyptian hieroglyphs, but became unreadable when the last humans familiar with these scripts died. Some such scripts remain unreadable today, but progress is being made. A notable recent example is “The Decipherment of Linear Elamite Writing” by François Desset, Kambiz Tabibzadeh, Matthieu Kervran, Gian Pietro Basello, and Gianni Marchesi. But there’s a new and different golden age of decipherment that we are presently in the midst of, namely the recovery of messages intended to be kept secret and therefore hidden behind the best ciphers of the time. Custom computer programs often play a key role in such decipherments. The first issue of Cryptologia contained an article on an old, but only recently broken, cipher: “Poe Challenge Cipher Finally Broken.” A computer wasn’t used in this particular recovery, but the second issue of Cryptologia featured the piece “Automated Analysis of Cryptograms.” As the editor-in-chief of Cryptologia, the submission categories that bring me the greatest pleasure deal with cryptanalysis. While I enjoy seeing attacks on any system, my absolute favorite is when the attack is not merely theoretical, but actually reveals messages of some historic interest. That is, modern cracking of historical ciphers, typically made possible by clever computer programs. Examples, span the centuries. There are solutions to a cipher created by Trithemius and hidden in plain sight in his book Steganographia for hundreds of years, ciphers from other famous
早在1977年,在《密码学》的第二期中,一位投稿人就指出:“破译的黄金时代可能是19世纪上半叶,当时近东的古代语言被放宽了。”当然,这指的是那些不是为了保密而写的文字,比如埃及的象形文字,但当最后一个熟悉这些文字的人去世时,这些文字就变得不可读了。一些这样的脚本今天仍然无法阅读,但正在取得进展。最近一个值得注意的例子是franois Desset、Kambiz Tabibzadeh、Matthieu Kervran、Gian Pietro Basello和Gianni Marchesi合著的《线性Elamite文字的解读》。但我们现在正处于一个新的、不同的破译黄金时代,也就是恢复那些原本要保密的信息,因此隐藏在当时最好的密码后面。定制的计算机程序通常在这种破译中起着关键作用。《密码学》的第一期刊登了一篇关于一个古老的、但最近才被破解的密码的文章:《坡挑战密码终于被破解》。在这次特殊的恢复中没有使用计算机,但是《密码学》的第二期刊登了一篇“密码的自动分析”。作为Cryptologia的主编,我最喜欢的投稿类别是密码分析。虽然我喜欢看到对任何系统的攻击,但我最喜欢的是攻击不仅仅是理论上的,而且实际上揭示了一些具有历史意义的信息。也就是说,对历史密码的现代破解,通常是通过聪明的计算机程序实现的。例子跨越了几个世纪。特里特米乌斯发明的密码在他的书《隐写术》中隐藏了几百年,还有其他著名的密码
