2. Vision
To create a website that can cryptanalyze user submitted ciphertexts
Could be used to solve simple ciphers as used in puzzle contests, or geocaching

3. Software Architecture
User sends http post
Server sends ciphertext to program
Cryptanalysis is done on server
Program sends results back as a webpage

4. Challenges and Risks Not all ciphertexts are solvable
Cryptanalysis methods depend on what type of cipher was used
Cipher type is not always apparent
