The key words for each encryption spell out a poem:

Alpha:
To learn about our scholar's quest

Beta:
let your mind their work digest

Gamma:
Who at the incept of the art

Delta:
Gave poly symbol code its part


The answer is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Leon Battista Alberti


hence the url above

The solutions, as they are solved, are in the wiki

 		Okay ... I get how you got to the Epsilon once you had the question (spoilered above in UKVer2's post). However, I'm missing where you folks managed to get the question from Alpha through Delta. Can someone please explain it to this dumb Yank?

In any event, well done all (too bad I couldn't help ... you guys move too fast! Smile ).

Sounds like we might need Kurt to pull the access logs to Case Study 266. Shouldn't be too hard, as it would be a legitimate request for a CRT member. Question: who is Framingham? Kiteway is probably Sente, and the other two are Guest Lecturers in Security Engineering. Knowing who this person is might help us figure out more of 3P's structure and thus point us to the Big Boss.

Case Study 268 could be VERY helpful, but not necessarily in tracing down the Big Boss.

It might give us a clue or potential plain-text for Shuffled. Do we have any ins with Centrifuge? Very Happy

 		Hint on how to get from cipher to poem

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you press refresh on the alpha text do you notice any patterns


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
More importantly patterns in the first letter of the heading and what this letter decrypts to


And if you've till not got a clue

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Look at the letter subsitions for the cipher. The first few words spell out something which in refresh order give away the line

 		Ahh ... makes sense now. Thanks Luetch.

If anyone else doesn't get it, here's one last hint
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Compare the output Benjaminbrum posted on page 1 of this thread against what you get from the crypto pages.
