The Enigma Cipher Machine text encryption electronic kit is an accurate and functional simulation of the mechanical M3 Enigma
text encryption machine used by the German Navy during the Second World War.
Enigma Cipher Machine Encryption Kit Description
The Enigma Machine electronic kit uses a pre-programmed PIC microcontroller chip and a PS/2 PC keyboard to accurately and
functionally simulate the the mechanical encryption method of the original M3 Enigma machine used during WWII by the German Navy. The original Enigma cipher machine used a combination of
mechanical rotors, rings, reflectors, and plugs to scramble a plain text message typed on a mechanical keyboard into an encrypted text message output.
The selection and sequence of various encryption rotors, rings, reflectors, and plugs could be easily changed to produce
differently encrypted output (for a given input) each time the machine was used, thus making encrypted messages almost impossible to decode without knowing the
right "key" to the order of rotors, rings, reflectors, and plugs.
The reciprocal nature of the original Enigma cipher machine (and also the electronic kit version) means that by knowing the
"key" and typing the encrypted text message back into the Enigma machine keyboard, the Enigma cipher machine will also descramble and reveal the original un-encrypted
plain text message. Read
