Kryptos Competition
κρυπτοσ, or kryptos, is a contest open to any and all undergraduate students. The theme of the contest is centered around the breaking, or cryptanalysis, of ciphers (secret writing). Each challenge presents contestants with a brief scenario together with some ciphertext (encoded message). The goal is to discover the original English plaintext message!
The next Kryptos Competition will be April 11-15, 2024
The official Kryptos website has migrated to a new place! Please come check us out! The, slightly disorganized, content on this site will dissapear at some point.
