Welcome Functions, one and all, to the wonderful world of the CyCon Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Greetings all, this is I, Prime Function Drogue Beta-8 and the inaugural post of our private forum.

I am trying to add all members ATM, and when that is done, I will post the PM I sent to Corellion, that Maniac asked me to post.

Welcome to the Cybernetic Consciousness. I wish you logic and strength, we will need both in this troubled time ahead.

Yes, those ones and zeros say Drogue Beta-8, although I haven't done Prime Function yet. It came from the site that FlameFLash linked, can't remember it though

Edit: The website is http://plinko.net/binary/toenglish.asp

Brilliant! And with http://plinko.net/binary/tobinary.asp you can do the opposite.
But if we use this binary code in the general forum, it won't last long before it is decrypted, as FlameFlash already guessed the ones and zeroes actually meant something. Therefore I'd suggest that we add a few ones and zeroes at the beginning of each encrypted message, let's say four or five random 0's and 1's. If the third digit is 0, you have to remove the first four digits before transforming the message to English. If the third digit is 1, you have to remove the first five digits before transforming to English. The first, second, fourth and possibly fifth digits should be random, to avoid the other from too easily noticing a system in our encryption.

Does that sound ok, or am I making it too complicated?

Ok, I'm almost always on MSN. I like the post on the forum

I have another idea for encryption. If you put binary into a english-binary translator, you get more longer binary out. Like

for instance. That is Drogue, double translated. It works too

I hadn't thought of that yet! Cool! Though a downside is it dramatically increased the number of digits required. Even single-encrypted, the binary message is already longer than the English message.

Edit: Oh btw, there's a spelling mistake in your signature. Consciousness written as Consciouness.

i like the first way better since it's easier, but just imagine what those universitians would think if they put that binary into the translator and got more binary out.

If you put the first, Maniac's way, you get characters out. If you double encrypt, the latter way, then you get binary out. I say use Maniac's for most, but on occasions, double may work better, if we need extra encryption, but for a small sentance.

TKG, in the general forum, the third digit was a zero, but I had to remove five digits to get a sensical message. So if we follow the method I proposed, it should have been a 1.

For the encryption, the methods so far are good, but they seem a little easy to crack. TKG's mistake illustrates how easily, if someone gets the idea in their head, one can decipher the encryption. All they need to do is delete a digit and try, delete another and try, and continue until the message makes sense. Putting binary in and getting it out is good, but it's a simple matter to translate it again if somebody can translate it initially. Plus, the length is incredible... you multiply the number of characters by 64 to get that! I would suggest something more along the lines of the following...

Choose a number and convert it to binary through straight number conversions, not the binary converter. Make it a number less than or equal to 7, and keep adding extra zeros to the beginning until it's three digits long. This means the first three digits of each message will be the binary equivilent of a decimal number between 1 and 7, and the binary converters won't work on it. Then add x random digits after the number, where x is the number you chose. Finally, add a random digit after the xth digit of the actual translation.

In order to decrypt, just figure out what number the first three digits represent. Then, figure out the number, delete it, and delete the first x digits of the message after that, where x was the number you just decoded. After that, delete the digit after the xth digit in the message. This should thwart the people who delete numbers progressively.

Here's an example... Let's choose the message akizeta. Choose a number between 1 and 7, like 5. In binary, this comes out as 101. akizeta in binary is 01100001011010110110100101111010011001010111010001
100001
So, add 101 plus five random digits after and it becomes
10110100011000010110101101101001011110100110010101
11010001100001.
Then, add another random digit after the fifth digit of akizeta normally, and you get

10110100011001001011010110110100101111010011001010
111010001100001

This comes out as complete garbage in any translator, and randomly deleting digits won't work. They won't get any sense out of it, and because the inserted random digit is less than 8, they won't get even a single proper character.

The only drawback is that it might be too complicated.

Am I paranoid?

Of course you are incapable of paranoia but that is too complicated IMHO.

How about we modulate it by the day, but add to the front and the back. So for Monday, we add 1 digit at the front and back, turesday we add 2, and so on. That way it changes each day, and you cannot just delete ones at the front or the back. So if someone cracks it, they have it cracked for a day, and then get confused again the next day Besides, I'm not sure people will really care that much to try for that long. But we could alter the code completely once per month, in case someone does get the pattern, although it would take them a while.
