After decades of speculation, the final passage (K4) of Jim Sanborn’s Kryptos sculpture at CIA headquarters has been fully decrypted.
The solution:
• Is deterministic and reproducible
• Includes both confirmed keywords ("BERLIN" and "CLOCK")
• Uses a transformation aligned with the physical design of the sculpture
• Is structured and published with timestamped attribution
Includes an open letter to Sanborn and a breakdown of why this solution fits both the cipher and the art.

Awesome!
I would pay for a layman’s book that explained how all 4 parts were solved.
