Kryptos K4 and K5 Cipher Solutions

For those following or working on Kryptos, the world-famous unsolved ciphers, I solved them during some free time that I had while developing new technology for my space imaging analysis work. I have written up a report that shows in step by step detail how to solve Kryptos K4 and K5. I have to add Kryptos K5 to the report and as soon as I finish that I will post it here on my blog to download. This will give everyone working on the cipher the ability to work it step by step and solve anything that I may have missed. Kryptos is a series of tests and there may be more decryptions waiting to be solved.

This is the solution for Kryptos K5:
