Contexto:

Personalmente, no me considero un instructor y sería incorrecto de mi parte que lo hiciera, pero sí me considero un honesto transmisor de información, cuya esperanza está cifrada en que los lectores interesados en el tema que aquí se desarolla, capten los mensajes que a través de estas páginas son proporcionados y así lleguen a asimilar los conceptos que ellos encierran.

Gracias,

  -> Muchas gracias, Carol
agree  Charles Davis: Literally it would be something like "whose hope is pinned/concentrated on", but I think it's much better to cut it down to this.

whose hope is encrypted/encoded


Explanation:
it would be a shame to truncate and lose the literary imagery of the author's hope encrypted into messages that she hopes the readers will capture those messages and assimilate the concepts which they (the messages) enclose (hide).

Also I don't think it will be possible to finish the translation without the key element of the encryption/encoding as it will leave a gap of meaning which is directly attached to the end concept.

Explanation:
Hope is abstract, you cannot encrypt or encode it. My suggestion is an attempt at preserving the litterary twist while remaining concise.
