Me Code... please break...

[chris-harry]

ok.... by the way... for me computers saftey... the decoder insnt on the computer i use to access the internet...

and a happy new year... drive safely...

I'll run into a pole after this ...

Sounds like an inconsistent pattern, which
are always good. If your into that kind of thing .

Is it something along the lines of

---------------------------------
y = ax + bx + c
---------------------------------

Always good for a scramble.

But ...

a=b
c=x

Sounds inconsistent, so a cluster of some sought
would be needed there.

Are you U.S.A ... you'll get into trouble if thats
noticed going outside

[chris-harry]

nup... i live in aussy land... with the drop bears (*love that joke*)...

[chris-harry]

its a little bit more complex then x=b, a=c... type of thing...

but there is one thing to it too...

its very random... but the decoder always decods it just fine...

[jjmac]

I actually meant ...

y = ax(squared) + bx + c

(sorry about that) hmmmm,

>>

random ..., it must follow some pattern, in order
to be reversable. Even if the pattern it self is tiered.

Not a curve by chance ...

whooosh, (heh heh), nearly hit another pole.

good grief ... i think i'm just about to save this
page. I must be mad ...

[chris-harry]

a little hint... its not quadratics...

what i did, is created this program that generates random code... and sets it in a certain pattern...

then, when i want to decode a piece of writing... i type it in (i also made the decoding program), and then press a button... and it comes out the other end... i can explain the process more deeply... but then, it will make it alot easier for you...

it has nothing to do with maths... yet anyway...

Are you U.S.A ... you'll get into trouble if thats
noticed going outside

why??

[jjmac]

Yes, i was thinking later that quadratics wouldn't be
much good. Having the possibly same y value for two xes.

I'm a bit rusty on this kind of stuff, i must admit.
I do find encryption an interesting topic, and i do program
to a degree, but i
haven't really gotten around to doing much along
these lines. It's association with patterns is what
really interests me though, i think. After all,
thats all computers do really, just look for, and match
patterns, according to rule sets.

If it generates "random" code, and you can reverse it
back, then you must be using some sought of embedded
key in the generated code, that your program uses
to recover it with. As you say, it "sets it in a certain
patten", that would have to mean a key of soughts is used.

A truely random scramble would, by definition, be
unrecoverable


Give us one more hint ... hmmm, you use the word "random"
.... and then "setting a patten .... hmmmmm


I was going to say ... could you encript the letters
"a to z", maybe, just to sample an output. Then i might
be able to figure it out heh heh.

But i get the drift that your saying, no two
generations will be the same.

Sounds a bit like shadow pass words, in that the
encryption and decoding are internal to the
program, and so not externally visible. But i'm not
real sure there either. I don't think shodowe passwords use a randomisation
technique. I could be wrong of course, as it kinda
sounds like they should at least.

You'll have to post it one day,

Currently though ... still working on it.


Arrrh, just noticed, you say

"it's got nothing to do with maths yet"

It must ?

Pure jest , just a play on the export restriction
laws on encryption software the states have.

Come to think of it, one of the beauties of a working
personally drawn up encryption program, would be
that, if it dosen't follow any published techniques
... then the available cracker software around
wouldn't be aware of it !. So, the plans stays safe

Still trying

I'll give you another clue... this might be confusing... but, hopefully you wont be too confused

ok... that program that generates that random code leaves a barcode inside the text clue one!! shh ... so, i can use more then one random code to code something... its not really encryption btw... its really hard to explain... i can explain it with scrabble pieces...

also... i can not decode the program with out the key, 2 keys to be percised. You need both of them to decode it... thats what the decoder uses to decode the data.

very confusing to explain on a forum... sorry... but, i am not good at explaining things... as you can proberly tell

[OErjan]

if it is on a computer it IS math. everything on a computer is represented as binary digits

[chris-harry]

yeah... good point... but it doesnt rely on maths to be decoded...
