CSE 403 Proposal By Mark Jordan, Daniel Sprouse and Knut-Sigurd Knuteson
Vision • To create a website that can cryptanalyze user submitted ciphertexts • Could be used to solve simple ciphers as used in puzzle contests, or geocaching
Software Architecture • User sends http post • Server sends ciphertext to program • Cryptanalysis is done on server • Program sends results back as a webpage
Challenges and Risks • Not all ciphertexts are solvable • Cryptanalysis methods depend on what type of cipher was used • Cipher type is not always apparent
