Answers to Questions
How to encrypt using Pollux cipher?
Pollux's encryption uses Morse code and a tomogrammic overencryption that replaces dashesand dots from Morse by other characters.
The coding of Morse characters can be numeric, alphabetical or alphanumeric
Example:
| Dot (.) | 0,4,7 |
|---|---|
| Dash (-) | 1,5,8 |
| Space ( ) | 2,3,,6,9 |
Example:
| Dot (.) | 0378AEFMOPQXYZ |
|---|---|
| Dash (-) | 145BCGJNRTW |
| Space ( ) | 269DHIKLSUV |
Example: Encrypt CASTOR by writing it in Morse then transcode:
| Plaintext | C A S T O R |
|---|---|
| Morse code | -.-. .- ... - - - .-. |
| Encrypted text | 4PGM9F1VQEMHCUB1B28BP |
The choice of the character is random from the list of proposed characters.
How to decrypt Pollux cipher?
Pollux decryption requires the knowledge of the correspondence between the numeric / alphanumeric characters and the dashes / points / spaces from the Morse code.
Example: Decrypt 78559590317270898307655205347035412184970 from the table
| Dot (.) | 0,4,7 |
|---|---|
| Dash (-) | 1,5,8 |
| Space ( ) | 2,3,6,9 |
Example: The corresponding Morse code is -... . - .- / --. . -- .. -. --- .-. ..- -- and the plain message is 'BETA GEMINORUM' (the scientific name of the Pollux star)
How to recognize Pollux ciphertext?
A Pollux encrypted message will have a minimum coincidence index (due to polygrammic encrption and the characters chosen randomly). Cryptanalysis is therefore very difficult.
Morse should not have 2 consecutive spaces and long series of dashes or dots (more than 10) are rare. Also the text should not start with space because the first space character should be in position 2, 3, 4 or even 5.
