Just like every end of year, I am awarding the Golden Alice for outstanding achievements in the field of crypto history.
The last crypto challenge I’m going present in 2016 was created by master-codebreaker Tony Gaffney. Can you solve his starlight steganogram?

Klausis Krypto Kolumne wishes everybody a Merry Christmas! In case you find some spare time over the holidays, try to solve this encrypted Christmas card from the early 20th century.
William Friedman and his wife Elizebeth not only were great codebreakers, but they also were creative and had a sense of humour. This can be seen from the Christmas cards they devised in the 1920s and 1930s.
