The Rick Astley cipher can be used to encode a message, and is based on the song: "Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down. Never gonna turn around and desert you. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you."
Rick Astley Cipher |
Theory
The Rick Astley song sticks in our head, and you will remember for as long as you live (possibly). So, as it is so memorable, let’s create the Rick cipher, and layout the words as a cipher:
'A': "NEVER", 'B': "GONNA", 'C': "GIVE", 'D': "YOU", 'E': "UP", 'F': "Never", 'G': "Gonna", 'H': "LET", 'I': "You", 'J': "DOWN", 'K': "NEver", 'L': "GOnna", 'M': "TURN", 'N': "AROUND", 'O': "AND", 'P': ["DESERT", "DESSERT"], 'Q': "YOu", 'R': "NEVer", 'S': "gonna", 'T': "TELL", 'U': "A", 'V': "LIE", 'W': "and", 'X': "HURT", 'Y': "you", 'Z': "rick", ' ': "+", '.': ".", '\n': "\n", '0': "0", '1': "1", '2': "2", '3': "3", '4': "4", '5': "5", '6': "6", '7': "7", '8': "8", '9': "9"
For the word, “never”, we start with “n” and which is “AROUND”, next it we have a “e”, and which is “UP”, and so on :
Message: never give you up Type: rick Coding: 'AROUND UP LIE UP NEVer + Gonna You LIE UP + you AND A + A DESERT'
We can see that a “+” is used as a space. So, what’s is the message here:
'GIVE NEVer you DESERT TELL AND Gonna NEVer NEVER DESERT LET you'
