Early models were used commercially from the early 1920s, and adopted by military and government services of several countries, most notably Nazi Germany before and during World War II.]]> 2017-10-30 13:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201701961 red_truest https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201702256 The machine was invented to help create and decipher code. It also created interesting commercial companies in secure communications.]]> 2017-10-30 13:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201702256 red_truest https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201703844 Enter the first letter of your message on the keyboard and a letter lights up showing what it has replaced within the encrypted message. At the other end, the process is the same: type in the “ciphertext” and the letters which light are the decoded missive. Inside the box, the system is built around three physical rotors. Each takes in a letter and outputs it as a different one. That letter passes through all three rotors, bounces off a “reflector” at the end, and passes back through all three rotors in the other direction.]]> 2017-10-30 13:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201703844 red_truest https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201706682 The Enigma machines were a series of electro-mechanical rotor cipher machines developed and used in the early- to mid-20th century to protect commercial, diplomatic and military communication. It required laborious work and was very difficult to decode. The only way the allied forces were able to determine the message was through operator mistakes. ]]> 2017-10-30 13:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201706682 red_truest https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201707403 It was used in WW2 to help send and decipher secret messages to locations across both sides of the war. A side was able to send ciphered messages to their allies so the enemy couldn't transmit the information and figure out their plans.]]> 2017-10-30 13:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201707403 red_truest https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201708457 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 13:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201708457 red_truest https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201708795 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 allied forces gained a large advantage because the team was able to decipher the messages, and if they were not able to find out the Germans strategies, the Germans may have been able to win.]]> 2017-10-30 13:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/red_truest/dcl84giznydc/wish/201709804
