10 Mysterious Code That still unsolved
Although the Internet has spawned-billion dollar industry in creating and cracking codes, crypologists not solve some secret codes of the oldest riddles. Here are ten of the most famous:
1. Phaistos Disk
regarded as the most important example of hieroglyphic inscription from Kreta.Ditemukan in 1903, both sides of the clay is covered with hieroglyphs arranged in a spiral zone, impressed on clay when moist. Forty-five different types of signs have been distinguished, that little can be identified with the hieroglyphs used in the Proto-palatial
2.Linear A
Linear A is one of the two linear scripts used in ancient Crete (Cretan hieroglyphs third script.) Linear B described in 1952 by Michael Ventris and used for writing Mycenaean Greece. Linear A is far from being completely broken down, but partially understood and can be read through the values of linear b.
Though the two scripts share many of the same symbols, using the syllables associated with the linear b in generating a linear writing words that do not have a relationship with a known language. The language is often referred to as the Minoan or Eteocretan, and corresponds to the period in the history of Crete before a series of invasions by the Mycenean Greeks around 1450 BC. It is believed that there may be some relationship between the linear a and the Phaistos Disk.
3.Kryptos
Kryptos is a sculpture by American artist James Sanborn is located in the basement of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Langley, Virginia, in the United States.Since its dedication on November 3, 1990, there has been much speculation about the meaning of encrypted messages it bears.
Continue to provide entertainment for employees of the CIA and other cryptanalysts try to decrypt the message. Text passwords in one half the main sculpture contains 869 characters in total, but Sanborn information was released in April 2006 stating that the letter addressed to the main part Kryptos missing. This will bring the number of characters to 870 on the main part.
The other side of the sculpture consists of Vigenere encryption tableau, comprised of 869 characters, if the calculated space. The first person who publicly announced the break the first three parts, in 1999, was James Gillogly, a computer scientist from Southern California, which is translated from the 768 characters. The part that he could not solve, the remaining 97 or 98 characters.
4. Secret Code in Chinese Gold Bar
In 1933, seven gold bars allegedly issued to a general named Wang in Shanghai, China. These gold bars, containing pictures, Chinese writing, some form of script writing, and cryptograms in Latin letters, appear to represent metal certificates related to bank deposits with the Bank's U.S. and Chinese writings have been translated, and discussed the transaction at more than $ 300,000,000 .
5. Beale ciphers
Beale ciphers are a set of three ciphertexts, one of the suspected location of the treasure of gold and silver estimated to be worth more than USD $ 50 million. The other two ciphertexts allegedly describe the contents of the treasure, and list the name of the owner of the treasure trove 'next of kin, respectively.
The story of three ciphertexts derived from the 1885 pamphlet detailing the treasure that was buried by a man named Thomas Jefferson Beale in a secret location in Bedford County, Virginia, in 1820. Beale entrust the box containing the message encrypted with a local innkeeper named Robert Morriss and then disappeared, never to be seen again. giving innkeeper three encrypted ciphertexts to a friend before he died.
His friend then spent twenty years of his life trying to break the password message, and only capable of solving one of those who gave details about the general location of buried treasure and treasure. Since the publication of pamphlets, some effort has been made to decode the two remaining ciphertexts and find the treasure, but all ended in failure.

6. Voynich Manuscript
The mysterious Voynich manuscript is alleged to have written in to the 15th or the 16th century. The author, script, and script language remains unknown.
Listed on the existence, the Voynich manuscript has been subjected to intensive study by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including some top American and British codebreakers World War II fame (all of whom failed to decrypt any portion of the text). This string of failure has changed the Voynich manuscript became the subject of famous historical cryptology, but also given the weight of the theory that the book is just an elaborate hoax, a meaningful sequence of arbitrary symbols.
The book is named after the Polish-American book dealer Wilfrid M. Voynich, who got it in 1912. Voynich manuscript is currently kept in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Yale University as an item "MS 408". The first facsimile edition was published in 2005

7. Password Dorabella
The Dorabella Cipher is a letter written by Edward Elgar enciphered Miss Dora Penny, who was accompanied by another dated 14 July 1897. Penny never could understand it and its meaning remains unknown to this day.
Passwords, which consists of 87 characters spread over 3 lines, appears to be composed of the alphabet of 24 symbols, with each consisting of symbols either 1, 2, or 3 approximate semicircles, oriented in one of 8 directions. The orientation of some ambiguous character. Small point, the meaning and significance are not known, came after five characters in the third row.
A count of 87 characters indicates the frequency of symbols that are very close to what would be expected if the cipher is a simple substitution cipher, based on the text in English, but efforts to solve it along these lines has so far proved futile, leading to speculation ciphers may be more complex.
8. Password System John F. Byrne
John F. System password Byrne Chaocipher discovered in 1918 and continues to try to solve but failed for almost 40 years to U.S. government interests.
He offered a reward to anyone who can crack the password, but the reward was never claimed. It recently has been re-examined by their family members to determine whether there is commercial value in it.
9. Sandi D'Agapeyeff
Sandi D'Agapeyeff adalahadalah insoluble password that appears in the first edition of Codes and ciphers, a basic book on cryptography, published by Russian-born British citizen who works as a map maker Alexander-D'Agapeyeff in 1939.
Offered as a "cipher challenge" at the end of the book, it is not included in later editions, and D'Agapeyeff said to have admitted that she forgot how she encryption keys
Some argue that the failure of all attempts at decryption is because D'Agapeyeff wrong asli.Namun encrypt text, there is also an opinion that a secret code that can still be solved by using computational methods such as genetic algorithms.

10.Taman Shud.
body of an unidentified male was found in Somerton beach in Adelaide, Australia in 1948 without ID, and wearing a sweater and a coat despite the hot weather that day,
There is no clue to the identity and dental records and fingerprints can be matched with someone.
An autopsy found the odd jam, blood in the stomach and enlarged organs but no foreign substances.
A suitcase found in a train station that might belong to someone that contains a pair of pants with a hidden secret pocket, which holds a piece of paper torn from a book printed with the words "Taman Shud".
These sheets fit with a very rare copy of Omar Khayyam's 'The Rubaiyat' found in the back seat and the vehicle locked in the back of the book is written large five-line letter which appears to be a kode.Sampai today, the entire case remains one of mysteries in Australia's most bizarre.
