About this video

Kryptos is a fascinating work of art and cryptography. Although the first three parts of the text have been deciphered by amateurs and specialists, the fourth part, K4, has remained unsolved for over 30 years. Kryptos has become a symbol of the challenges posed by cryptographic puzzles.

One method of attempting to solve K4 is using frequency analysis of letter and word occurrences in the text, similar to other cryptographic puzzles. However, the lack of access to the encryption key and the unconventional nature of the sculpture itself make this task incredibly difficult.

Jim Sanborn, the creator of Kryptos, drew inspiration from the history of cryptography and the mysteries associated with the CIA in creating this work of art. Many still endeavor to decipher the hidden content of K4, adding to the mystery of this extraordinary sculpture.
