The Enigma by kevin https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq Made with a dash of wit en-us 2017-10-30 17:37:05 UTC 2023-04-21 17:45:01 UTC hello@padlet.com 1. What is the Enigma encryption machine? kevinrp134 https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201852466 The Enigma machine is a piece of spook hardware invented by a German and used by Britain's codebreakers as a way of deciphering German signals traffic during World War Two.]]> 2017-10-30 17:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201852466 2. Who developed it? kevinrp134 https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201855129 Arthur Scherbius was a German electrical engineer who patented an invention for a mechanical cipher machine, later sold as the Enigma machine.]]> 2017-10-30 17:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201855129 4. How did it work? kevinrp134 https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201858049 Straddling the border between mechanical and electrical, Enigma looked from the outside like an oversize typewriter. Enter the first letter of your message on the keyboard and a letter lights up showing what it has replaced within the encrypted message.]]> 2017-10-30 17:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201858049 3. Why did they develop it? kevinrp134 https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201860184 The Machine was used to send messages that were unbreakable to others expect the reader.]]> 2017-10-30 17:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201860184 5. Was it leak-proof? kevinrp134 https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201861837 The Machine wasnt leaked proof due to the fact that it was hard to crack the code]]> 2017-10-30 18:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201861837 6. How was it used in WWII? kevinrp134 https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201863992 During WW2, the enigma machine was used by Germans to send codes to the user that was in codes]]> 2017-10-30 18:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201863992 7. Who is Alan Turing? kevinrp134 https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201865328 Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS was an English computer scientist, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher and theoretical biologist.]]> 2017-10-30 18:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/201865328 8. What was the Hut 8 team? kevinrp134 https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/202636299 Hut 8. Hut 8 was a section in the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) atBletchley Park (the British World War II codebreaking station) tasked with solving German naval (Kriegsmarine) Enigma messages. The section was led initially byAlan Turing.]]> 2017-11-01 17:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/202636299 9. What was Turing and the Hut 8 team’s role in relation to the Enigma machine? kevinrp134 https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/202636862 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.]]> 2017-11-01 17:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/202636862 10. Do you think the outcome of WWII could have been different had Turing and this team not been involved? kevinrp134 https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/202637191 Yes it would have been different, because if it wasn't for Alan turning cracking the code, the victory of WW2 would of have been Germany]]> 2017-11-01 17:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinrp134/azo3cq1rxrpq/wish/202637191
