I am publicly challenging the professional cryptological community to examine and verify (or refute) my decryption of the Beale Ciphers.

[johnnyrev]

I have time to work on decrypting the Beale Ciphers again. My decryption process produces a clear plaintext that includes direct instructions from Thomas Beale himself. I can demonstrate this with a one-page proof of concept, allowing anyone to see within five minutes how the ciphers were encrypted and how they can be decrypted. The ciphers have been broken since 2014. An NDA will be required, of course.

Thank you for your time,
Johnny Piper

Why even post this? What benifit do you get by showing random people? And why would they need to sign a nda?.......

Why? and...why?

How many members of the "professional cryptological community" do you believe are
on TNet?

The ciphers have been broken since 2014.

There are two types of people: Those who have solved the Beale ciphers and can show us the recovered treasure, and those who haven't solved the Beale ciphers.

And without signing a NDA

The first step is to have my key, which broke the Beale Ciphers, validated.
This will clearly demonstrate what I have been saying for the past few years.
The reason people haven't found the hidden items is that they are not looking at the true decrypted text, but instead are distracted by a red herring or misleading text designed to conceal the location of the items.

Why? If you broke the ciphers, then the results should be self-evident.

Are you looking at plaintext emergence from a book cipher? A surveyor traverse? A new perspective of reading the Beale Ciphers? Were the ciphers broke using AI or is it replicable by a human?

Is the KEY in a book cipher format similar to the KEY (DOI) that solves Cipher 2?

AI is not going to work with the Beale cipher, but if you ask it about the Red Herring or a Honey-Encryption in the cipher that was decoded in the 1800’s. The AI will agree with me and tell you this is the most accurate description of what is going on with the original decoding. It is simply a false trail! Nothing more. The decryption I have for C1 tells you where to start at C2, and how to decrypt it! The incredible way this was encrypted will be the topic for many future generations of cryptological meetings of experts!

I would have to say if you were to memorize the DOI it would serve you the rest of your life. If you are American you should have done this in School. All I can say is, if you have the key, it’s not hard to follow Beale instructions to finish decoding the rest. Step by Step instructions are given as you decipher it!

When i first saw your research i was convinced you had solved it! After learning more i don't think you have.

TB would have wanted Robert Morriss to decode the ciphers, locate the treasure and pass it on to the rightful heirs. That means to me, that all 3 KEYs would have the same book cipher format and the decoded text would be in the same dialect/style as the DOI.

I understand the the use of old English as added protection but to make the ciphers uncrackable all TB needed to do is randomly assign letters to numbers and use multiple numbers for the same letter. There is no need for two layers of encryption and then use old English.

Based on my research ive concluded the 22 alphabetical string at location 480 provides the needed protection but still maintains the KEY format of the DOI substitution cipher.

To demonstrate this method i used the 22 letter alphabetical string to redact, four miles from bufords.

I have deposited in the county of Bedford ABCDEFGHIIJKLMMNOHPP, in an excavation or
vault, six feet below the surface of the ground, the following articles, belonging jointly to the
parties whose names are given in number three herewith:

Now, if TB used the 22 letters to redact "five miles east to a rock", i contend you will never decode this action/instruction because these three variables; distance, direction and marker provide too many combinations/alternatives to narrow it down to the correct location.

There are three other shorter strings that could easily be used to redact any two of the three as well as single letters sprinkled around.
