Dan Brown takes toll on me!

DaVinci Code, Digital Fortress, Dungeons and Dragons... the list of Dan Brown books that keep me glued. Ciphers,mystery and break neck speed narratives are the trademarks of this genius writer. I like his work because he manages to maintain a high level of authentic information in his novels. I would suggest his books for any cryptography fan!

So, what happens when you are huge huge addict of Dan Brown stuff ? Well the ideas get hooked to you and the result is as follows..

Dont know whether anyone thought of this idea.. I would name it the QWERTY Keyboard Cipher Ver 1.0! Yes let me introduce to you the modus operandis of this cryptographic cipher. This cryptography is simply based on the QWERTY keyboard. In this encryption each english letter would be encoded as a letter right next to it on the QWERTY keyboard for example ... 'a' is encoded as 's', 's' as d . Further the 'p' as '{' and soon and so forth. Now you might have a genuine question what if I have a different keyboard that has some other letters, the solution I can give now is the cipher will contain the information of the keyboard type as well making the encoding and the decoding easy !!

Thanks for writing on my guestmap :).

This is actually a very simple cipher. If you have a large enough coded text, it will be very easy to decode, as one could just count the number of occurrences of each character, and then compare that with the actual probability of a character in uncoded text. For example, the letter 'e' appears the most time in any text, so in your coded text, the letter 'r' would appear the most time. So we know that 'e' is coded as 'r' and so on.

Thanks for your comment.

Yeah the encryption is not strong I agree :)

Just thought of it..

thanks again.
