Chester Alan Arthur was born on October 5, 1829, in Fairfield, Vermont. Arthur and his seven siblings lived in the United States and Canada during their childhood.

World War II was a war of many victories and losses. A battle for constant control of territories, that was ushered by greed and corruption. With this comes the persistent need to find an advantage over the enemy, and during this time Germany became the front runner in innovations and technology. This intelligence showed by the Germans had the allied forces in a scramble to help propel them on top of the battle again. In hopes of success, through desperation the United States had managed to put together a top-secret task force. However this was not the typical task force that the United States was know to specialize in, until the early 1940 's. This task force was hand selected to specialize in tricking the German forces, specifically in the art of Deception. Through the use of these technologies given to them, these brave soldiers used their skills in sonic, radio, and visual deception, to help lead the allied forces to victory. Later called the Ghost Army of the War, these American 's were essential in deceiving the German forces.

Herbert Yardley’s establishment of the Cipher Bureau, or the “American Black Chamber,” was one of the first cryptologic organizations established by the US military and is the foundation for one the largest intelligence agencies in the US – the NSA. Yardley’s successes in the early twentieth century, like The Washington Naval Arms Limitation Treaty of 1922, proved the importance of code breaking and the need for a cryptologic organization (Lowenthal, 2000a). However, Yardley’s American Black Chamber disbanded in 1929 due to Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson’s

The research question being investigated is “To what extent did breaking the Enigma code aid the Allies in winning World War II?”. This involves the practically “unbreakable” code that the Germans used during World War II. The Allies were able to break this code, which some historians think helped the Allies win the war. To understand whether this point is true or not, the background of the cracking of the Enigma Code was established. The Allied program which dealt with all the information being uncovered by the Enigma Code, was called the Ultra Program. Then, the beginning battles, the Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, North Africa Campaign, Invasion of Normandy, Battle of the Bulge, Battles in South America, and the Balkan Campaign

The Enigma machine was the primary cryptosystem used by German armed forces units (such as regiments or divisions). About the size of a portable typewriter, Enigma

Most historically based movies try to reenact exactly what happened in the historical events that took place, while others have added twists to them, like a change in storyline, proving its historical inaccuracy. The 2001 film Enigma stars Tom Jericho, a British mathematician who solved the German Enigma code, “shark”, the first time around and is called back into Bletchley Park to do it again. While doing so, he teams up with his ex-girlfriend’s roommate, Hester Wallace, to detect why his ex, Claire Romilly, has disappeared and discovered secret information on the Katyn Forest Massacre and a German spy in the British Intelligence System. This movie is both historically accurate and inaccurate because the information it provided about the German Enigma, Bletchley Park, and the Katyn Forest Massacre is true, yet some details behind the characters Jozef Pukowski and Tom Jericho are falsely stated. In reflecting upon the movie, it is obvious the producers were sticking to a particular agenda in altering storylines related to other historical figures to keep it centered around the British and Germans in order to avoid confusion while it also presented a new perspective in seeing the significance this Enigma War had to the Allies’ success in WW II, even though the historical value of the film didn’t seem real at first.

In this book, Ron Clark discusses very important qualities that a teacher should have. He stated very good facts and points. After reading his text, it really made me sit back and think about what kind of teacher I wanted to be and what kind of qualities I thought it was important for a teacher to possess. The three qualities that stood out the most to me were balance, confidence and humor.

The plugboard allowed the machine to change letter pairs before and after the signal went to the rotors giving strength to the encryption. This machine was used by the Nazi’s to send crucial wartime messages and a lot of time was spent trying to break the encryption. There was some Polish codebreakers that made great strides in cracking the enigma codes and had even built electro-mechanical machines — bombas — to simulate the workings of the enigma. With information obtained from the Poles and Alan Turing leading the attempt for the British, Alan was able to strategize a way to crack the enigma code without solving it with brute force.

Ralphie’s secrete message , from The Christmas Story, that he received from the Ovaltine decoder pin looked challenging and difficult at first but soon was able to decode the very important message. However, if his message from Little Orphan Annie was coded with the Enigma machine it may have been more puzzling for Ralphie just like it was for the rest of the world.The Enigma machine was a complex machine that was used by the Nazis during World War II to send secret messages. This machine consists of three routers , two keyboards, and a plug board or coming together to make an intricate machine for its time.Germany believed this machine was unbreakable and that their messages would never be decrypted. This machine may have helped Germany in

German engineers used the most complicated technology to create their enigma machine. The cryptologist Philip Marks states, “Though Enigma had some cryptographic weaknesses, in practice it was German procedural flaws, operator mistakes, failure to systematically introduce changes in encipherment procedures, and Allied capture of key tables and hardware that, during the war, enabled Allied cryptologists to succeed and ‘turned the tide’ in the Allies' favour. ”[1 ] Most enigma machines had three rotors that would code the letters that were inputted into the machine.

Today, global leaders’ decisions impact how they view and value human life. Whenever large businesses’ entrepreneurial change agents prepare to assemble a difference in the world, they want to involve their organization to donate funds or his or her time to aid others in their hour of need. However, the path a leader takes can be difficult at times because their position within the corporation might not provide the necessary tools to fulfill his or her humanitarian duties. The following case study examines which career option best suits Alan Wilson, an essential expert point of view that aligns with his philanthropic obligations, and how the role of a global leader plays in making a difference.

When it comes to symbols throughout this movie, they are not hidden where you have to think about it. These motifs are easily present and up front an personal when the film was screened. The first motif was obvious and of course the main sought out object of the entire film and that was the Enigma machine. This machine was said to be the unbreakable message translator that would be all the leverage needed for Germany to have the victory at the end of the tunnel. The Enigma machine was easy to understand but extremely difficult to break, especially when you only had 24 hours to break that days worth of codes and then after all the work would change for a new day of code breaking. The second motif would be Turing’s machine named Christopher.

Later on, Gordon was invited to Bletchley Park by a man named Alastair Denniston, who was working on a machine called the Enigma Machine. The Enigma Machine looks like a typewriter, and was used for communication between the military. It was used during World War II by the British to decode the German signals (5). Denniston was having trouble with the Enigma Machine since the German had made it more complicated, so Denniston put together some people to form the Government Code and Cypher School (1). The group was called GCCS (1), and it included a man named Alan Turing, and of course,

During the World War 2, the need for secrecy pushed the allies and the axis to develop encryption technology in order to pass their messages safely. There were numerous devices developed during that period. The most famous are included in the following passage.

The “Ignominious Tribe,” the worlds “second oldest profession,” these are both describing the same thing, the mysterious profession that lives in the shadows of history. Espionage. Governments fear it, yet it is always a major factor during wars, and it isn’t very well known by the general public. Men and women throughout history who have fought in secret positions during wars, often placed into positions of great danger. Why were they willing to risk so much for their countries? Profit? Honor? Adrenaline? There are many aspects of the art of espionage, from the necessary grunt work of field agents to the solid determination of cryptologists. Cryptography is defined as the art of writing and solving codes, a necessary practice for all sides involved in any major battle or power struggle, an example being World War II, where coding and cipher script were integral parts of the conflict, main factors of every win or loss. Without cryptography, some estimate that the war would have lasted at least two years longer than it did, thus proving the necessary function of cryptography. In the following pages, the reader will learn a brief history of the evolution of cryptography, and how it was important in such major recent struggles as WWII. This form of espionage has been an integral part of history.
