Somewhere In Independence - Cryptocache Mystery Cache

** Cache is Not at listed coordinates. **

This cache is based off of GCW483 SomewhereInIA-Cryptocache in the Cedar Rapids area.

I loved it so much I thought I'd do a similar cache. I will admit that when I first did the cache I had help but couldn't let it go. I wrote a programming in BASIC to decode it for me.

As a finder, you can use any means necessary (including cheating), but if you cheat, you have to identify the snitch! I would ask if you do share that you would only share the coords.

This will be a lesson in cryptography, and an eye opener to people who just assume that internet transactions are secure. The real encryption used on the internet is far more advanced then this example, but it may demonstrate that the internet is not impossible to crack. By no means am I saying that it is not safe, but to some degree this is the basis of internet encryption.

If you had the key, here is a web page by jsignal that has a long and short version on how to decrypt the above location. http://jsignal.com/crypto
A one paragraph explaination of this process follows:
Binary XOR the ASCII bits of the key with the encoded location, repeating the key as needed. For example if the key is 8 bytes long (say '12345678') and the encoded message is 23 bytes long (say 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW') you would have to XOR '123456781234567812345678123' with 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW'.

The real problem is, you don't have the key!
I will help you out by saying that it is 48 bits in length and is on this page in some form.

This is intended to be a super hard puzzle and a hard find, you will probably have to write a program to solve it. Good luck, your going to need it!
