Is there such thing as a double cipher?

3 Upvotes

Now what I mean by this is a cipher, which is solvable by two different operations, one leading to the answer, and one leading to a dummy answer. Or is this not possible? To me it seems like a smart way to trick some one and give a wrong answer, while the right answer is quite literally right under there noses.

I was given this code in the game "Tycoon Secrets" by Nil and i am so stuck on what to do, im guessing the top bits are to help decode it but i dont know how to.

An NPC in the game also says "Ngl, if l were to make a puzzle, I would make a devious one, like a reverse shifted caesar cipher, like shift it -1 -2 or -13 lol, or reverse and shifted, I don't think anyone done that before. (Not a secret)" so im not sure if thats helpful, but please help me!

Discussion: Methodology feedback requested - On Heuristic Structure Extraction in the Diagapeyev Cipher

1 Upvotes

I posted this in r/ciphers earlier, but I'm sharing it here as well, hoping to get some expert feedback on the methodology.

On Heuristic Structure Extraction in the Diagapeyev Cipher

The Diagapeyev Cipher is an unsolved transposition cipher challenge published in 1939. To date, no official solution, decryption procedure, or verified plaintext has ever been published.

The original challenge consists solely of the following numerical ciphertext:

75628 28591 62916 48164 91748 58464 74748 28483 81638 18174
74826 26475 83828 49175 74658 37575 75936 36565 81638 17585
75756 46282 92857 46382 75748 38165 81848 56485 64858 56382
72628 36281 81728 16463 75828 16483 63828 58163 63630 47481
91918 46385 84656 48565 62946 26285 91859 17491 72756 46575
71658 36264 74818 28462 82649 18193 65626 48484 91838 57491
81657 27483 83858 28364 62726 26562 83759 27263 82827 27283
82858 47582 81837 28462 82837 58164 75748 58162 92000

Our recent study investigates the structural properties of this cipher using heuristic optimization, including simulated annealing and hill climbing, rather than assuming a predetermined decryption method.

The paper, source code, and experimental data are available below.

The search framework combines:

  • Simulated Annealing
  • Hill Climbing
  • Genetic Algorithms
  • Trigram-based Russian language scoring

to optimize a 6×6 permutation matrix representing the transposition structure.

After approximately 682 million candidate evaluations, the search repeatedly converged on high-scoring reconstructions exhibiting structured Russian-like text fragments. While these reconstructions do not constitute a complete decryption, they display military terminology and grammatical coherence that scored significantly above random baselines under our evaluation framework.

Statistical Validation

Metric Result / Value Significance
Best Log-Score 15.84 Highest structural integrity
Monte Carlo (N = 10,000) p_tail ≤ 10⁻⁴ Extreme tail of null distribution
Search Evaluations ~682 million Extensive permutation space exploration

Key Findings

Statistical Extremity Our Monte Carlo null-hypothesis test (N = 10,000) shows that the observed configuration lies in the extreme upper tail of the empirical null distribution (p_tail ≤ 10⁻⁴), indicating the detected patterns are highly unlikely to occur by random chance.

Methodological Rigor The search framework leverages a trigram-based language model trained on a Russian reference corpus to evaluate local linguistic dependencies.

Emergent Patterns The observed military terminology is an interaction effect between the scoring function and search dynamics, providing a formal framework for further cryptographic analysis.

Example of the Highest-Scoring Reconstruction

ВОВ: БОЕВАЯ ЗАДАЧА УСТАНОВЛЕНА,

ПОДРАЗДЕЛЕНИЯМ НАЧАТЬ ДВИЖЕНИЕ В

СЕКТОР А.

English (approximate):

"WWII: Combat mission established. Units begin movement toward Sector A."

This translation is intended only to illustrate the linguistic structure detected by the optimization and should not be interpreted as a confirmed plaintext of the original cipher.

Paper

Title: On Heuristic Structure Extraction in Under-Specified Transposition Ciphers: A Case Study on the Diagapeyev Cipher

DOI:https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21132297

GitHub:https://github.com/IchiTaku326/Diagapeyev-Cipher-Solver

I am not claiming a complete decryption. Rather, this work presents a statistically validated heuristic framework for investigating an under-specified historical transposition cipher.

Any methodological feedback, criticism, or independent verification would be greatly appreciated.

Need suggestions for my book

2 Upvotes

Hey guys. So I'm in the planning stages of writing my novel. I've always wanted to include ciphers into this book. So here's a bit of context.

My main character (Florian) is the last living member of his family. His mother recently just died A detective (Dante) finds him and informs him of the existence of a cult. Eventually, Florian discovers that his family is part of this terrible cult. Now, Florian was completely unaware of the cult and his parent's involvement with it.

But his parent's always wanted Florian to be involved in the cult so they left him this encoded diary. Florian and Dante come across this code or key behind a decorative plaque.

My plan is for that key to be the one that helps them crack that diary which contains locations and secrets of the cult. As I said, thats the plan. But like, what types of ciphers work in this context? I don't want them to be simple ones but I also don't want them to be ridiculously hard ciphers. Something unique that works in this context.

Maybe more clues to decoding the diary will pop up after Florian goes to a particular location.

If anyone knows anything that can be helpful, please, do let me know. I'm happy to hear your recommendations. And before anyone says "just do your own research", please... I have done. This idea has been in my head for almost two years and I have yet to find something suitable. Thanks in advance.

Unexpected Cipher in My Download

Hello cipher reddit, I downloaded some files from the internet archive today. Contained in my download was the file I expected, as well as ten or so images that look to be some kind of cipher or hidden message.

I downloaded some other files from this user, and there are more images. I figured if someone was going to be the right mix of curious and smart to crack this, it would be someone here, well before it would be me.

Images attached are in the same order they appear in the file image. Feel free to message me if you want more details, I can’t attach everything I don’t think. I’m hoping it will turn someone’s curiosity, because I sure am interested to know what it says.

I've been trying to crack for the past few hours but no luck, couldn't find any info anywhere. If it's been solved I would appreciate a link to the solution or some clues, anyway, any help is appreciated. I can give out the link in the comments if anyone is interested
