Geocaching.com Decryption Key

[+gbrandon]

I am trying to find a virtual cache and it list hints that are encrypted using the geocaching.com decrpytion key. Unfortunatley, I cant find out how to decrypt the message. Anyone know how to do this?

The waypoint is GCA035 in case anyone wants to view the site to understand what Im talking about.

 

TIA

The key is located on the cache's site. It's near the hints on the right side of the page.

 

The key is pretty simple to use. The letter in the code is translated to the letter above or below it in the key.

 

A=N & N=A. Your name would be Trbss.

 

Pretty simple, but effective.

To decrypt it online simply hit the Decrypt link (above the encrypted hint) and a new page will load that has the hint in plain text.

 

If you want to experiment with this encryption method, go to www.rot13.com.

Its right on the cache page just below the encrypted hint:i

 

Decryption Key

A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M

-------------------------

N|O|P|Q|R|S|T|U|V|W|X|Y|Z

(letter above equals below,

and vice versa)

Works just like my Jack Armstrong Code Ring.
