    New Project: Kryptos@Home

    There is a new project, Kryptos@Home. An AMD Users team has been made.

    Project Overview
    Kryptos@Home is a volunteer computing project which allows anyone on the internet to contribute computing resources to research projects, related to solving one of the most famous, unsolved puzzles - the three-decade old Kryptos!

    More precisely, it is a sculpture located on the grounds of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Langley, Virginia - at the main entrance to New Headquarters Building (NHB) and in the courtyard between NHB and the Original Headquarters Building (OHB) cafeteria - completed by the American artist James Sanborn, on November 3, 1990.

    The Kryptos sculpture comprises four large copper plates, a large vertical S-shaped copper screen resembling a scroll of four encrypted messages, three of which (referred to as K1, K2 and K3) have been solved.

    As a community, Kryptos@Home's mission is to crack the elusive K4.

    There is work for 64-versions of Windows (AMD x86_64 or Intel EM64T), Linux (AMD x86_64 or Intel EM64T) and Intel 64-bit Mac OS (10.5 or later).
