BLETCHLEY PARK ENIGMA SIMULATOR SIMULATOR
I intend to define how Bletchley Park scientists determined their decryption algorithms and more importantly draw a relationship to the magnitude of their efforts in both revolutionary thinking in the field of computers as well as respective technological growth.īy December I intend to have a working simulation of the Enigma encryption machine along with algorithms derived from computer scientists at the time that can be applied to the simulator for decryption. Upon completion of my Enigma simulator, I want to apply what I have learned about the machine's construction and use in war time and apply it to the perspective of the allied forces. The efforts of the mathematicians and computer scientists all around Europe, namely Poland, France, and the British intelligence at Bletchley Park unarguably changed the course of WWII. During my research and development, I have been learning a lot about the disciplined effort that was made toward creating this encryption system that was (presumably) unbreakable but this task at hand calls for the mentioning of even greater events happening simultaneously. I am developing a java simulation of one of the encryption machines used in World War II by the Nazi military-The Enigma.
This is a work in progress that will turn into a final article by the end of the semester in December of 2011. I’m a student in the History of Computing class at San Jose State University ( ). 5 Cribs and Turing Bombes at Bletchley Park.
