EBN: Robot codes cracked
05 Dec 2008
For the last week, the robots have used the Calypso emergency broadcast system to piggy-back their own sinister messages. Of course, the messages themselves were encrypted.Thanks to a valiant effort by a community of code-breakers, the robot codes have been cracked, even as the robots switched communications protocol to make decryption harder.
"We owe these clever people a great deal", Major Jenny Carramone says. "They've cracked the code and given the CDF a peek inside the minds of the robots that have been invaluable to us. I would like to express my gratitude to each and everyone of them. They may very well have won the war."
However, Major Carramone still has concerns about cracking the code on a public forum. "They know that we know" she says, "and the code has evolved all the time. I fear that pretty soon, we won't be able to read it."
