Some of the pages are also damaged due to their age, making the code even more challenging to read.”but>”the Borg cipher, for example, uses a straight-forward substitution cipher, meaning that each symbol was swapped with a single Roman letter”With the advent of AI providing proofs to unsolved math challenge questions, how far do you think it will go with cryptography? The project in the article didn’t devise a decryption methodology, but this could be the first steps towards that.
