Encryption with the Enigma Machine
Encryption with the Enigma Machine
Germany used the Enigma encryption machine during the Second World War. The machine's alphabet consisted of lowercase letters, a dot, and whitespace, which is represented by the underscore "_". You can set rotors (permutations of the alphabet), reflectors (pairings within the alphabet), and rules (how rotors are rotated during encryption). Those were the fixed parts of the machine. Daily settings included the starting positions of the rotors. Further description is given as the Demonstration works. Choose one of the offered words and see the encryption proceed!
