First, this is not a typical application; DeKRYPTOS is specifically designed to poke, prod, test, and decode the last section of the KRYPTOS sculpture. There is an emphasis on the original cipher charts and steganography to extract the hidden message.
The cipher charts are automatically generated (formatted) when you load the cipher layer. See below for methods & descriptions.
