Editing Final Report/Thesis 2015 (section)

====Aim====
The aim of Task 3 was to use ''Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam'' as a ''one-time pad'' to attempt to decode the Somerton Man code to find any meaningful messages after decrypting. This task involved the investigation that the letters had been substituted for others using a ''one-time pad'' technique. This group was to use the Somerton Man code to act as the cipher text, the numerical value of letter positions within words, with respect to the first letter of each word to act as the ''key'', and the decoded messages to act as the ''plaintext'' of the code.  The first letter of each word in the ''one-time pad'' had numerical value 0, the second letter had numerical value 1, and so on. 

The difference in aim between our group and the 2013 honours group is that the ''key'' used to decode the message is based on letter position within each word rather than using numbers assigned to each letter in the alphabet to perform alphabetic shits, as implemented in the 'Decoding Toolkit - One Time Pad' software <ref>L.
