Ciphertext messages should not be written in word format. One common
method used primarily for radio transmission is to block text in five
character sequences. Another technique which may confuse analysts for
a short while is to write the cyphertext in random word like order.
This is a delaying tactic but all codes are breakable and it is time
that the encoder is buying.<br>
<br>
How long does the keyword have to be?<br>
<br>
There is no limit. The longer the keyword and shorter the message the more improbable it will be to break.<br>
The keyword could be 'Yepthatsit' or 'thereisnochanceinheckyouwilleverguessthiskeywordendswithbubblegum'<br>
<br>
So the message of: <br>
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">today wewil lcrea teasi mplem essag eofco nfusi onhow longw illyo usear ch</span><br>
becomes:<br>
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">rsstf wxoqe jggxh txsab ktaxt elkiz csuvv nymab mrwhd lhfop gparv ulwik alxmn</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">

<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">mvhrc ewjwn scege brhwk wnzyi mddeb iflws fxnzq gxlms zfqkj ldhgh btybs nlfds</span><br>
<br>
you might even notice the lines are different length? Thats called
garbage and unless you know to throw out the first, last or middle
part, you wont know how to solve it. <br>
<br>
now here is another one for you to try to figure out the key for. :)<br>

<br>
Without some basis of information to go on this is going to be
unbreakable as it is a one time key encryption and I will not even
remember the key. A few years with a Cray might solve it, but I am
fairly certain it would go for ever as an unfound cache.<br>
<br>
Maybe if you could give some context as in what forum this is from
someone might be interested in assisting, but with just the text I can
say it is not going to be helpful.<br>

<div>How long would the keyword have to be? Why is it in groups of 5
letters? This is a person on another unrelated website who has over
2300 posts. This is part of his sig line. 'Chief' or 'whysoblind' might
be possible keywords. </div> <div> </div> <div>Thank you Rand, Brian and Regan for the responses and help.</div><div><span class="e" id="q_109aee7fbcccb834_1"> <div> </div></span></div></blockquote></div><br>
