The Enigma Enigma: How The Enigma Machine Worked

Enigma, the German's bafflingly complex enciphering machine. A devious double-cross to convince the Germans that their cipher is still secure. Making full use of powerful Vatican connections, it entails sending an agent into Nazi-occupied Rome The Allies have cold-bloodedly plotted every detail of his capture and death except one: Greeley, author of 'The Cardinal Sins' Unknown Binding , pages.

Product description

Prior to use, for a three-rotor machine, three rotors would be selected from however many rotors were available to choose from. That gives 60 possible ways to choose the three rotors being used for a message. From there the circuit goes to the F key.

Since the F key was not pressed, electrical contact is still made with the F light, completing the circuit with the battery and lighting it up. The lit F means that the key that was pressed, A , should be substituted with the letter F. The operator or someone else writes this down. The third rotor then turns one position for every complete rotation of the second rotor.

In , German army versions added a plugboard, or steckerbrett. This allows letters to be swapped. When the A is pressed, as we saw above without the plugboard, the output would be F.

Following that wiring, the output would have been G. The reflector makes the Enigma self-reciprocal. This fact helped codebreakers break the Enigma.

Another variation among different versions of machines was in the way the keyboard was connected to the entry wheel. In military machines they were connected alphabetically: A-A, B-B, and so on. Typically, both the people encrypting a message and the descryptors would have a list of settings, sometimes different ones for each day.

The person doing the encrypting would choose random rotor positions themselves and include them at the start of the messages. So he sets the rotors to DEF and starts typing the ciphertext. The output is the plaintext message. He was referring to the randomly chosen rotor positions we talk about above.

A fun way to see all these settings being applied before use is to watch the video in our article about an amazing Enigma in a wristwatch. Maybe the why of it is one puzzle you can clear up for us in the comments below? Here are just a few of the older creations to be found here, starting with a toy that was hacked into an Enigma machine. And here again is the amazing Enigma in a wristwatch.

Thank you Poland for breaking it! The Polish contribution was absolutely vital and paved the way for all the other work. Honestly, the mechanics of this machine look too complicated.

They should have used arduino instead. As for how complicated the enigma models where this is just scraping the surface. During the war some sections used a reflector where the wiring could be changed. Then you have luftwaffe who used a UHR box — an external box that was in place of the plugboard and there you could turn a knob and change the plugboard to 40 different configurations so each message had one of 40 settings. After the war enigmas where used by many governments until early 70s when it became public what Bletchley Park did during WWII.
