The Enigma machine is a cipher device developed and used in the early- to mid-20th century to protect commercial, diplomatic, and military communication. It was employed extensively by Nazi Germany during World War II, in all branches of the German military.

In 1939, Turing took up a full-time role at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire – where top secret work was carried out to decipher the military codes used by Germany and its allies. The main focus of Turing’s work at Bletchley was in cracking the ‘Enigma’ code.

2024年12月19日 · Enigma, device used by the German military to encode strategic messages before and during World War II. The Enigma code was first broken by the Poles in the early 1930s. In 1939 the Poles turned their information over to the British, who set up the code-breaking group Ultra, under mathematician Alan M. Turing.

Cryptanalysis of the Enigma ciphering system enabled the western Allies in World War II to read substantial amounts of Morse-coded radio communications of the Axis powers that had been enciphered using Enigma machines.

The Enigma cipher machine is well known for the vital role it played during WWII. Alan Turing and his attempts to crack the Enigma machine code changed history. Nevertheless, many messages could not be decrypted until today.

2024年1月15日 · During World War II, a team of scientists, mathematicians, and cryptographers worked to break the Enigma code, a cipher used by the Germans to protect their messages. A brilliant mathematician, Alan Turing led this team alongside his colleague Gordon Welchman.

2022年12月8日 · This allowed the team at Bletchley Park to crack the daily Enigma code in under 20 minutes. Much of the code decrypted revealed integral information that saved thousands of lives and shortened the war by nearly two years.

Tool to decode/encode with Enigma automatically. Simulate German communications during World War II.

2023年11月19日 · The Enigma machine was an ingenious encryption device used by the Nazis during World War II to encode their strategic communications. The story of how the Allies broke the "unbreakable" Enigma code is one of the greatest cryptographic advances in history.

During World War II, the Germans used the Enigma, a cipher machine, to develop nearly unbreakable codes for sending secret messages. The Enigma’s settings offered 150,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible solutions, yet the Allies were eventually able to …
