A copper sculpture with about 1,800 cipher characters stands in the CIA courtyard. Three parts are solved, the fourth officially is not.
Code
end-to-end encryption
Everyone can see the Kryptos cipher; only the key holder can read it. End-to-end encryption works the same way: the server carries your message but sees only symbols.
Action
Turn on end-to-end encryption in your messenger if it is off.
Включите сквозное шифрование в мессенджере, если оно выключено.
The label in the room
The same hash is printed at the foot of the label. If they match, nobody changed the text.
Everyone sees the Kryptos cipher; no one has read its fourth part. End-to-end encryption works the same way: the server sees only symbols. Turn it on in your messenger.
Шифр Kryptos во дворе ЦРУ видят все, четвёртую часть не прочитал никто. Сквозное шифрование устроено так же: сервер видит только знаки. Включите его в мессенджере, если оно выключено.
