Editing Final Report 2011 (section)

===Conclusion===
The Cipher Cracking 2011 project has been a successful venture. All objectives have been met and surpassed with the addition of new and innovative extensions. The products of the project are fully functional, produced on budget and on schedule, meeting all specified requirements.

The [[Final Report 2011#Cipher Analysis|Cipher Analysis]] section of the project has been both comprehensive and informative, providing a significant contribution to the ongoing investigation into the Somerton Man case and code. The product from this section is a [[Cipher Cross-off List]]; a database of ciphers and reasoning as to whether they can be ruled out from being used in creating the Somerton code. 

A by-product of the Cipher Analysis section is the CipherGUI, an innovative software tool merging numerous ciphers into one easy-to-use interface that also provides keyword interactivity and analysis tools. Applications of this software are both educational and cryptanalytic.

The Web Analysis section of the project has produced a valuable web search tool capable of independently browsing the web in search of flexible patterns defined by the user. Pattern matching functions include the implementation of the powerful Regular Expression definition of String patterns and an intuitive graphical user interface has been designed for the system to ensure a wide range of users are able to take advantage of this product. 

It is expected this web crawler will be extremely useful in searching for distinct patterns evident in the Somerton Man code, however the flexible pattern matching algorithms ensure it has uses outside this scope, for example in web statistic gathering and market research.

The software products of this project, namely the web crawler and the CipherGUI, have been made freely available on the project’s website. Project team members hope they can be put to continued good use, making the most of the many hours that have been put into creating them.

These software products will be made available in the [[Final Report 2011#See Also|See Also]] section of this report from 31/10/2011.
