This is the fourth video of our first "Crypto Challenge Contest". For detailed descriptions of the rules, please watch the video :-)
Here, we have also our last video with ciphertexts. In the next video, we will announce the winners.
Rules (short version):
- You may break ciphertexts and win points. The one with the most points at the end of the contest wins a copy of Gaines’ book “Cryptanalysis: a study of ciphers and their solution”. Another winner will be randomly chosen from all other participants
- The contest is in no way connected to or sponsored by YouTube, Google, or Facebook
- Everyone (who is no CrypTool team member) is allowed to participate – you don’t need to be a subscriber of our channel or our Facebook page. Participation is for free
- At the end of the contest, we will delete all personal data (e.g. names and email addresses)
- The official start of the contest is the 14th August 2020
- Solutions may be sent until the release of the next contest video- The basic idea of the contest: having fun with solving crypto challenges :-)
Hint: Clearly, everyone is only allowed to participate ONCE in the contest. Thus, if you send solutions for a video multiple times, e.g. from different email addresses, you are removed from the contest.
If you are interested in learning the basics of cryptology, you should also have a look at our video series about basics of cryptology – also for beginners: https://youtu.be/jbumW7Ym03o
