Scientists working at The University of Manchester have shone new light on the Enigma machine used by the German military in World War Two and cracked by Alan Turing and his team of code breakers at ...

In this week's issue we break the enigma on encryption and reveal how code-making and code-breaking has been a key part of Britain's military machine for years. MI5 last week gave an object lesson ...

Narrator: Did you know? The German encryption machine, was called the Enigma. It had one hundred and three billion trillion possible settings for encoding messages. For much of the war it was ...

Turing provides an excellent example of this phenomenon in a chapter on British concerns about their Typex cipher machine. Typex was, like the German Enigma machine, based on rotors, but it was ...
