Enigma Encryptor Pro 1.0
Enigma Encryptor Pro - What really makes this encryption effective is that like the real life machine, the wheels rotate
either to the left or right after each character. So the relationship between each character shifts
constantly. As a result, even repeating characters such as "AAAAAAAAAA" are represented with garbage
such as "BGPVLKHWCD".
It would be virtually impossible to look at the encrypted
characters and determine their relationship to one another. There are so many possibilities and
combinations of the above criteria, it would have to be solved through brute force. I am not a
mathematician, so if anyone can tell me the possible combinations, I would appreciate it.
When the Germans used this machine, it baffled the Allies, who frantically tried to break it with
no success. It wasn't until a German U-Boat was forced to surface in a naval battle and was
captured that the Allies got a huge break. An Enigma machine was captured along with a code book
that showed the information needed to decrypt the messages.
The U-Boat was scuttled and
the crew was kept in a top secret location. The U-Boat was simply considered lost during battle and
Germans continued the war not knowing the truth.
When the war in the Atlantic turned
for the worse, the Germans, who believed their code to be unbreakable, believed that there were
spies in their top level officials. They never considered that the code was being decrypted through
a captured machine, so as a result, they set up elaborate networks to try and find these "spies".
Paranoia being what it was, many loyal German officers were tortured and murdered for treason, even
though they had committed no such offense.
