Cha Cheon Soo tells that in this strip of paper lies an encrypted message. Cha Cheon Soo demonstrate by wraps the strip against back to the column then asked whether Choi Dong Yi sees it that it is seen as a jumbled of characters but if she were to use a scytale then in a certain point length wise, she will able to read the encrypted message in which he has demonstrate reads her name, Choi Dong Yi, this is how he will relay the message to her. Choi Dong Yi is amaze at the transposition cipher. Cha Cheon Soo tells that this is an encrypted system that was use in ancient time in the Western world, therefore next to this strips of papers, there will be a scytale to be found besides it. Then Choi Dong Yi tells that the person in Mohwaguan is most certainly trying to hide something in secret. Cha Cheon Soo confirms
Scytale or cryptography cipher or transposition cipher. One of the oldest ways to do this was created by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. It uses a stick called scytale. They would have used wooden sticks and parchment. This technique was very useful in ancient battles; the Spartans are known to have used this rather extensively. Each general was given a stick of uniform diameter so that he could quickly encipher and decipher any message sent from other generals. However, it is also rather easy to crack. In a battle situation, the most likely way to crack this would be to steal a general’s scytale. Then, each message could be read easily. However, it can be cracked even without stooping to thievery. The scytale encryption system relies on rods of wood with equal radiuses. The system is a symmetric key system where the radius of the rod is the key. After establishing keys a messenger winds a strip of leather around the rod. Then he writes the message going across the rod, so that when he unwinds the leather the letters have been jumbled in a meaningless fashion.
Seo Yong Gi goes to Sukjong & tells that the whole covert operation shortcoming was his folly. Seo Yong Gi asked for the Internal Bureau of Investigation to be involves was from the start was drawback, although knowing well that this could happened but he still turn aside & took the undertaking.
