the crypt. message in Langley HQ

[syberkill@infobahn]

i've heard that there is an unbreakable crypt. message at the entrance to Langley inside the front entrance, does anyone know what the message is? since it hasn't been broken, i'd like the uncrypted version.

thanks

syberkill.

Yes, The statue containing it is in the courtyard between the two
buildings. I have a copy of it, but it is not with me at the moment. I will
look for it and then post it in the next day or so.

It is not in the lobby. It is in a courtyard between the Original
Headquarters Building and the New Headquarters building. It is basically
a large metal sculpture that is covered with letters. Not all of the
letters apparently go into the secret message. The creator of the
sculpture delivered the plain text to the DCI and it is safely locked
away. It isn't any big surprise that it hasn't been broken yet - it isn't
based on any of the simple encription methods that are published. There
used to be a lot of hoopla that said that CIA officers were feverishly
trying to decode the text. My personal experience is that everyone I knew
was pretty bored with the whole thing. As a piece of sculpture it is
interesting, but most people have better things to do with their lives
then to solve a puzzle merely to solve a puzzle. However, if someone put
up a sizable sum of money, I'm sure it wouldn't take too long to break the
code. FYI - My knowledge comes from personal experience. I was a
Telecommunications Officer and a Computer Systems Analyst Programmer
(CSAP) with the agency between 1981-1992 but left when it became apparent
that the agency intended to pursue extremely discriminatory personnel
practices - including threats to my personal safety.
