decrypt ciphertext!
Leonardo Vasquez
Can anyone decrypt this message and tell me what method they use to
decrypt it.
cipher-text:
fqjcb rwjwj vnjax bnkhj whxcq nawjv nfxdu mbvnu ujbbf nnc
Thank you,
leo.

As I learned awhile ago (I posted some text to be decrypted), the
original algorithm source code is needed.

It was encrypted using a one-time pad.
The plaintext is all blanks.

Your cipher message is too short for a decent frequecy analysis, and all
mono and double alphabetic 8 bit XOR and rotation ciphers yeilded nothing.
Make the message bigger.

It's obviously one of those five-letter ciphers, but he didn't pad out to
five at the end. I got one of those cryptogram puzzle programs and entered
this, but it yielded nothing, so it's more than simple letter substitution,
apparently, but I tried only a couple of minutes before the phone rang.

I didn't notice anybody else giving the solution, so for
completeness: "What's in a name? A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet." The method is called "Rot-9", which
I suppose is a triple Caesar (Rot-3 by definition).

Hi, Jim! This and the other similar problem
demonstrated the value of "trying the simplest
things first", for example "running down the
alphabet" (completing the sequence) using both
direct and reverse normal sequences.

One can "cut and paste" this ciphertext into the online Caesar cipher located
at http://codebrkr.infopages.net/caesar.htm and "click" on the letters of the
alphabet in "decipher" mode. The solution appears at "J".

It says something about Ann Meara. Ann Meara the comedian and mother to Ben
Stiller, and who is married to Jerry Stiller, George Costanza's father on
"Seinfeld"???? Could that top line be the final episode to "Seinfeld"?

There is no way of knowing how many, but when word divisions
are given (and the cryptogram was not designed to be a puzzle),
I can usually read it without any aids such as pencil and paper
or computer, although I have to work at it.
In a general elementary cryptanalysis software package, which I
believe exists somewhere on the public Internet (I created one
for use at ASATC&S 25 years ago, but it's no longer in existence),
there should be a whole battery of simple methods such as
completing plain component sequence that can be run against the
message being analyzed as a first step in the process of
cryptanalysis. (There are also standard statistics and frequency
distributions that should be compiled right at the beginning.)
Even if the message isn't immediately cracked by these standard
simple methods, quite often some clues are contained in the results.
For example, if you visually scan the random garbage resulting from
running down the alphabet, you may spot a few entire lengthy words,
in which case you have a very good "entering wedge" into the system.

I was not trying to be really obscure, but to question the lack of
widespread simple encryption programs. Perhaps, it is something I can
work on; well....I am doing so, just not as fast as I would like.

There are those methods that assume for starters that plaintext length is
the same as ciphertext length. But, it very easy to get beyond that
condition.
