The Enigma Machine was one of the centerpoints of World War II, and its cryptanalysis was one of the stepping stones from breaking codes as an art to cryptography as a science. The machine encrypted messages sent between parts of the German army – operators would type a key on its keyboard, the machine would scramble that, and a letter would light up on the top. This notebook simulates an Enigma Machine and visualizes how it works. The Enigma Machine is an especially neat thing to visualize because it was e
The Enigma machines are a series of electro-mechanical rotor cipher machines. The first machines were invented at the end of World War I by German engineer Arthur Scherbius and were mainly used to protect commercial, diplomatic and military communication. Enigma machines became more and more complex and were heavily used by the German army during

Their wiki page also includes a brief history of paper enigma models that traces the origins of this method back to Alan Turing's hypothetical "comic strips" model from his 1942 Treatise on the Enigma. To make it, download the PDFs, print them out, cut them out, and apply them to a 75mm diameter cardboard tube.
This project allows to know the enigma cypher machine and the repercussion it had in the Second World War.

Germany's famous message-coding machine Enigma looks roughly like a typewriter but is infinitely more complex.
One of the rarest surviving Enigma cipher machines has sold at auction for a record price of US$463,500. The fully operational Enigma M4 was made to send secret messages to the German U-boat packs at the height of WWII.

Enigma Cipher Machine
The Enigma 1, which dates from between 1930 and 1938 is also known as the Wehrmacht, or 'Services' Enigma, and was used by German military and the railways before and during the war.
This rare enigma machine could be yours for $200,000.
On this day in tech history, the Royal Navy recovered an Enigma machine from a captured German sub during World War II.
The M4 version, fitted with four rotors instead of three, proved to be one of the most difficult to decrypt for Alan Turing and his team of code-breakers at Bletchley Park, in Buckinghamshire.
Bonhams Auction House in the UK will be offering for sale a very rare four-rotor 1944 M4 Enigma machine among a range of other scientific, technological, and automated musical instruments from across the centuries
