isn't this basically the same thing as Nick's Block Paradigm approach to Q20?
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
I guess not much progress has been made in that quest since then, so it may be good to try and get the momentum going again.
No that's quite a different thing. The "block paradigm" implies that you try to locate candidates for original sources of the VMS ciphertext and then try to reverse engineer the ciphertext.
What I'm describing is not looking for original sources, it's about comparing VMS text statistics with statistics of texts of (supposedly) similar category/subject in order to recognize keywords and patterns (in order to subsequently reverse engineer them). That's what I call "contextual analysis".
