Editing Final Report 2011 (section)

===Significance and Innovations===
This project has been significant, as it has contributed directly to an on-going state investigation. The software and results obtained in 2011 provide a valuable resource for anyone planning to continue the investigation in the future, at the University of Adelaide or externally. 

On the cipher analysis side, a substantial contribution has been made to the ongoing investigation of the Somerton Man code. This has also led to the by-product of a pioneering cipher analysis tool; the CipherGUI. This piece of software is innovative in that it merges numerous ciphers into one centralised application while also providing the aid of real-time frequency analysis and interactive keyword functionality. The CipherGUI possesses both educational and cryptanalytical potential.

The development of a freely available pattern matching web crawler application provides a new tool with which to search the web in ways that traditional search engines such as Google do not allow. The flexible pattern matching algorithms, particularly the implementation of a Regular Expression option, combined with the development of an intuitive GUI frontend to the product sets it apart from other publicly available web crawlers.
