    Unraveling the Enigma Code breaking was a crucial part of the secret efforts of the allied forces during World War II. Though modern day code breaking is a feat which can be achieved by means of using advanced technology, during World War II, code breaking was a vital and dangerous endeavour. The Nazi’s Enigma code was one of the most difficult and essential ciphers to unscramble. The Bletchley Park code breakers actually created what was considered the first prototype of a computer for the purpose

    The Enigma Machine World War II was a time of many technological advancements in the world. Among these advancements was the creation of the atomic bomb and semi-automatic rifle. Yet arguably the most important advancement was the Enigma, a cipher machine used by the Germans. A cipher is a way of encrypting messages, which is especially important in war. Enigma gave Germans’ confidence in the secrecy of their messages and plans, so they sent all of their messages using Enigma. This machine made

    following, which I reproduce without a full understanding. Turing’s (successful) approach to the decidability problem involved the design and use of an imaginary machine. This is the same technique...gedanken...that was used by Albert Einstein, in relation to relativity and in 'Schrodinger’s Cat' reference quantum mechanics. Turing’s machine used a continuous tape, which can be as long as required, which carries a series of cells. This passes under a read/write head that can read and if required change

    major war powers used complex machines that turned ordinary text into secret codes. (Cryptology in WWII) The Enigma machine, the device that the German’s used to encode their radio messages, was produced commercially beginning in the early 1920s. (Britannica) The Polish Cipher Bureau had the earliest success in breaking the German Enigma code. From 1932–33 Polish mathematician Marian Rejewski deduced the pattern of wiring inside the three rotating wheels of the Enigma machine. He was helped by photographs

    The Enigma was created at the end of World War I and patented in 1919 by Arthur Scherbius, a German engineer. The Enigma was a electro-magnetic ciphering machine and it was used by the German military as a way of communicating securely. As time went on, the Enigma was updated, and made more secure. It was used throughout World War II until the end of the war, though the Germans didn’t realize that the Enigma had been cracked by the British. Arthur Scherbius first released the Enigma for commercial

    One of the most famous encrypting machines was named the Enigma. The Enigma was a machine that took input from one side; encrypts it and sends the message to another operator who then translates it using a code book (Gladwin). Using this machine, the German’s kept nearly all the information secure from other countries. To break these encryptions, the British secret service along with many other countries started to build machines that could defeat the Enigmas encryption (Gladwin). Soon after the
