This shit is too interesting…

From the page:
"For example, suppose !Alice! wants to encrypt a message using a Vigenere cipher with the cipher !key! word "WARTHOG". To encipher the first letter, she moves the "W" on the inner disk to match up with the "a" on the outer disk, and then finds the ciphertext letter on the inner disk matching the desired plaintext letter on the outer disk. "
No anon i think it works kinda different.
OUR wheel has a clock integrated (like the one from clockfaggots) and it doesnt work with words and letters but dates and timestamps.
In the example from the page they have a word as a key. So with this keyword you can start to decrypt the message. In our wheel the code must be something with numbers, time or whatever. I could imagine 4.10.20 beeing something, just for example.
But I'm also just sharing some thoughts. Just in case.
Now we are talking :)
Yeah your idea is pretty nice i have to admit. Because i'm thinking for a long time how to intergrate such a wheel into the clock. Also WHAT kind of wheel? With alphabet, keywords, timestamps? This stuff makes your brain melt.
But while searching for crazy things like "rot ciphers" you rly get the feeling that this is the thing we need.
It all fits so well. In crypto Alice is allways the one who sents the message. You need a keyword to read AND to encrypt the message. The whole communication of Q seems 90% to be just a part of a big big message (map?). Maybe i'm clockfagging to much
Thats the thing. If you dont know rly the structure of the wheel behind the clock, its so easy to speculate into the nothingness.
We need more… structure. More patterns. More connections (structure wise) and knowledge about why Q talks how he talks. Then we can speculate what the key is.
