Alan Turing and the enigma encryption machine by Kevin Frausto https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL TECH en-us 2017-10-30 17:16:50 UTC 2023-01-30 19:06:22 UTC hello@padlet.com What is the Enigma encryption machine? kevinfrausto2017 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201838492 The Enigma machine is a piece of spook hardware invented by a German and used by Britain's code breakers as a way of deciphering German signals traffic during World War Two.]]> 2017-10-30 17:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201838492 Who developed it? kevinfrausto2017 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201838634 Arthur Scherbius, a German engineer, developed his 'Enigma' machine, capable of transcribing coded information, in the hope of interesting commercial companies in secure communications. In 1923 he set up his Chiffriermaschinen Aktiengesellschaft (Cipher Machines Corporation) in Berlin to manufacture his product.]]> 2017-10-30 17:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201838634 Why did they develop it? kevinfrausto2017 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201838779 To be capable of transcribing coded information, in the hope of interesting commercial companies in secure communications. ]]> 2017-10-30 17:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201838779 How did it work? kevinfrausto2017 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201838925 The Enigma machine is an electro-mechanical device. It is mechanically operated, with an electric signal passed through wires and various mechanical parts. The easiest way to explain the mechanics is to follow the journey of a single letter from keyboard to lampboard.]]> 2017-10-30 17:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201838925 Was it leak-proof? kevinfrausto2017 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201839050 It was not leak proof,as seen during WW 2]]> 2017-10-30 17:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201839050 How was it used in WWII? kevinfrausto2017 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201839204 The British used the Enigma Machine to decipher the codes sent by the Germans. ]]> 2017-10-30 17:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201839204 Who is Alan Turing? kevinfrausto2017 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201839320 Alan Turing was a British scientist and a pioneer in computer science. During World War II, he developed a machine that helped break the German Enigma code. He also laid the groundwork for modern computing and theorized about artificial intelligence.]]> 2017-10-30 17:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201839320 What was the Hut 8 team? kevinfrausto2017 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201839720 Hut 8 was a section in the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park (the British World War II codebreaking station) tasked with solving German naval (Kriegsmarine) Enigma messages. The section was led initially by Alan Turing.]]> 2017-10-30 17:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201839720 What was Turing and the Hut 8 team’s role in relation to the Enigma machine? kevinfrausto2017 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201839923 Lorenz enciphered German strategic messages of high importance: the ability of Bletchley to read these contributed greatly to the Allied war effort. Turing travelled to the United States in December 1942, to advise US military intelligence in the use of Bombe machines and to share his knowledge of Enigma.]]> 2017-10-30 17:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201839923 Do you think the outcome of WWII could have been different had Turing and this team not been involved? kevinfrausto2017 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201840077 Cracking the German enigma code proved to the Germans that there was better technology than the enigma machine and that they were not invincible. if the British did not crack the code. i believe the allied powers would have lost the war due to the lack in technological advantage. ]]> 2017-10-30 17:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/201840077 200573691 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/285011160 2018-09-24 13:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/285011160 200573691 https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/285011217 2018-09-24 13:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinfrausto2017/8hvdt0lbmylc/wish/285011217
