Enigma Machine: Made By: Paulius Grabauskas, Paulius Budreika, Nerijus Cibulskis

The Enigma machine was an encryption device developed by Nazi Germany and used during World War II to encrypt military communications. It had an electromechanical rotor mechanism that scrambled the letters with each keypress, providing many combinations that were difficult to decode. However, mathematician Alan Turing played a key role in breaking the Enigma code at Bletchley Park, allowing the Allies to read some German messages.

What is Enigma
machine?
The Enigma machine is an encryption device
developed and used in the early – to mid 20th
century by Nazi Germany. It was used to protect
commercial, diplomatic and military
communication.
How it works/How
was it used?
Enigma has an electromechanical rotor
mechanism that scrambles the 26 letters of the
alphabet. The rotor mechanism changes the
electrical connections between the keys and the
lights with each keypress. 
How it was
used on a daily
basis?
A German Enigma operator
would be given a plaintext
message to encrypt. After
setting up his machine, he
would type the message on
the Enigma keyboard. For each
letter pressed, one lamp lit
indicating a different letter.
How many combination
does it have?
The Enigma machine had 5 different rotors with
26 letters on every single one. So there are 60
different ways to put rotors in and 17576
combinations how those rotors can be arranged
or set. Besides that (a military one, the most one
used) it had what is called a plugboard witch had
150,738,274,937,250 combinations.
How it was
decoded/who did it?
Alan Turing was a brilliant mathematician.
Born in London, he studied at Cambridge
university. Who played main role in decoding
the machine.
