The Enigma Code is a cipher created by a machine known as the Enigma Machine. During World War II, the Enigma Machine was an essential communication tool for the Nazi forces. It was used to encrypt top-secret messages, which were then transmitted over long distances to the German mi...

Julius Caesar invented another early cipher -- one that was very simple and yet confounded his enemies. He created enciphered messages by shifting the order of the alphabet by a certain number of letters. For example, if you were to shift the English alphabet down three places, the letter ...
Imagine if Alan Turing'sincredible machine that cracked the Nazi "Enigma" code, was guaranteed to explode after every run. (QC engineers prefer the term "collapse," but let's call it what it is:explode.) And if Turing, an ingenious engineer, devised an automated manufacturing...
A review of: the theory that would not die. How Bayes’ rule cracked the Enigma code, hunted down Russian submarines, and emerged triumphant from two centuries of controversy: by Sharon Bertsch McGrayne. Hum Genet 132, 1433–1435 (2013). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00439-013-1371-7 ...
(Eddy thinks that number should probably be lower, since the Americans who wrote the report didn't know the full extent of the secret British program that cracked the Enigma code.) Ritchie Boys play-acted and dressed as German soldiers in training exercises. They would build a house and cut...
The Outfitwas directed by Oscar-winning screenwriter Graham Moore, who is known for co-writing the 2014 historical drama filmThe Imitation Game, which tells the story of Alan Turing, the genius mathematician who cracked the German Enigma code during World War II. Moore co-wroteThe Outfitalongside...
the code. Enigma was broken in part because of German formality (most messages started with the same formal greeting). Even worse, since some letters are more common than others (e.g., “e” and “g”) you can make progress by just counting up how often...
How do you ensure that the messages will make it into the right hands? The answer for German forces came in the form of the Enigma machine, and while it was an enigma to the opposition, the system would eventually be cracked. The electromechanical machine worked to replace every letter in...
