Personal story about Sept 11th and how someone was late for work and did not die.\u00a0 Kryptos is a CIA sculpture that she could not get into the CIA complex and see.\u00a0 FBI = Food and Beverage Industry to terrorists.\u00a0 Started giving talk about stenography and eventually was able to get into CIA via undercover agent from CIA.\u00a0 No emails at cia.gov and ended up getting email from ucia.gov!<\/p>\n

Webpage about Kryptos.\u00a0 She was able to get rubbings and see\/get things that others did not.\u00a0 Was able to meet creator of sculpture.\u00a0 Now it is a major part of her life.\u00a0 Made a list of famous unsolved codes(has large list on her site).<\/p>\n

Cracking early crypto work from 1400’s (maby, could be just old paper) said to lead someone to treasure.\u00a0 (Voynich)\u00a0 Drawings different and part of the encryption?\u00a0 Different plants.\u00a0 Swimming ladies throughout the strip, water pouring in different places.\u00a0 “Plumbers Nightmare.”\u00a0 Passion flower.\u00a0 Machine readable text converted to manuscript.<\/p>\n

Back to Kryptos:<\/p>\n

Made in 1990.\u00a0 CIA wanted art for building.\u00a0 Wanted to do sculptor that had encryption.\u00a0 Two years to carve letters in by hand.\u00a0 Letters are huge.\u00a0 6 per letter size paper.\u00a0 Part 4 is 97 characters.\u00a0 FOIA NSA request about Kryptos.\u00a0 Search for documents have been completed but you are in queue.\u00a0 Much many reviews in process.\u00a0 6 months, 5 months, final approval, more months, final approval stages.\u00a0 Eventually she is supposed to get this information.<\/p>\n

Jim Glogly solved some in 1999.\u00a0 CIA David Stein.\u00a0 The first three parts simple codes.\u00a0 NWICX or NWICS google search for intel community.\u00a0 Team in 2007, skype encryption, running on other stuff, and report regarding kryptos.<\/p>\n

Started making list of everything that has been created by the Kryptos artist.\u00a0 Russian language.\u00a0 KGB classified document.\u00a0 First sculpture with text lead to more text\/crypto art.\u00a0 Technically two crypto sculptures.\u00a0 CIA and KGB…classified document is plaintext of KGB on other sculpture.\u00a0 Another sculpture with russian classified document on it.\u00a0 “Untitled”<\/p>\n

Many theories.<\/p>\n
