The article should clarify whether chaocipher is: (a) a *cipher* (which could be implemented in various ways, including but not limited to a physical machine), or (b) a *machine* whose internal construction must be kept secret. If it is (a), a modern cryptographer would still be interested in solving it. But if it is (b), no modern cryptographer would be interested in solving it: a fundamental requirement of modern cryptography is that the details of the cipher must be openly published for all to see.

David Kahn mentions Byrne and his "chaocipher" in The Codebreakers [1], which is good enough for me to believe in its existence, but how strange that Googling is turning up so very little information aside from Wikipedia mirrors and blog "top ten lists" of ciphers. Does anyone have an actual sample of any of Byrne's challenge cipher texts? 151.197.226.214 ( talk) 05:34, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
The used link to "J. F. Byrne" is wrong! This is the wrong man!
The inventor of chaocipher "J. F. Byrne" was born in Dublin, 11. Feb. 1880 and died 1960 in USA. He was a friend of James Joyce. He wrote an autobiography called "Silent Years".
Please correct this. Best wishes.

How does it fare compared to other ciphers? How hard is it to break? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.81.0 ( talk) 19:37, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
