Yeah, I was just thinking out loud. Not one brain cell in my head was offended. All I want is to keep working on it and find a solution, like a machine. We will not always agree on things, but have a common interest and that is what keeps us together. That said, would you happen to have an updated map of where all the "new" symbols are?

How many ways can we look at the "new" symbols to try to find a clue?

Here's what I've got if you want to compare notes:

Well, there goes the observation. Thank you doranchak for pointing that out.

Largo: use the webtoy transcriptions.

I'm glad to hear that. I had some exhausting days and so I had just misinterpreted your statement.

Working with different approaches is the best thing we can do. I like to work with the approach "Why did he do this and that?" I'd like to put 100 people in a room who have never been involved with encryption before. Then I would explain how z408 works and how it was cracked. After that, I would give these 100 people the task of finding an improved encryption method that can't be cracked so quickly. Just to see what ideas they have. I did this once with some friends. One of them came up with the idea that each encryption symbol could stand for several plain text letters... polyphonic! He was not aware that he had created nearly a one-time-pad with it. Someone else simply wrote the text backwards.


David:
Thanks for the comparisons. I'm just seeing that I messed up. Instead of visually comparing, I simply relied on my long-established transcriptions and keys and overlooked the fact that they don't fit together (z408 and the z408 key fits, z340 transcription is ok too. But z408 key and z340 cipher does not share the same symbol assignments). Already the fourth character (<) does not appear in z408. So my "discovery" is pretty worthless. Nevertheless, I will spend some time with the key of z408 and the distribution of the new symbols. Maybe I'll notice something after all.

I agree but some approaches may be exhausted.

I am going back to my Alberti idea and will post in one of the other threads in a while.
