BACK IN TIME
Building automation tools for the decryption of historical documents
Get ready to uncover unexpected plots and secrets as old as time!
The BACK IN TIME research project brings together expertise of
researchers from three distinct fields to decipher encrypted historical
letters, some of which have lain dormant for centuries! Given the sheer
number of pages and the variety of symbols and rules involved, our aim
is to develop software to assist or even automate the deciphering of
documents from ancient, medieval and modern History.
Artifical Intelligence
We develop custom AI models for Handwritten Text Recognition and Natural Language Processing tools to identify cipher symbols, perform text analysis and post-processing.
Cryptography
Backed by the knowledge of historical and modern cryptography, we leverage Computational Analysis to identify cryptosystems and perform tailored cryptanalysis on the digitalized texts.
History
From unearthing new documents to providing crucial historical context, historians are the critical link to finally develop reliable automation tools for encrypted historical documents.
