During World War II, the Germans were using an encryption code machine called 🔒 Enigma – which was basically an encryption machine that encrypted messages for transmission. The Enigma code went many years unbroken. Here's How the basic machine works:
First, Caesar shift is applied using an incrementing number:
If string is :
AAA and starting number is 4 then output will be EFG.
So : A + 4 = E A + 4 + 1 = F A + 4 + 1 + 1 = G
Now map EFG to first ROTOR such as:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ BDFHJLCPRTXVZNYEIWGAKMUSQO
So EFG becomes JLC. Then it is passed through 2 more rotors to get the final value.
If the second ROTOR is AJDKSIRUXBLHWTMCQGZNPYFVOE, we apply the substitution step again thus:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ AJDKSIRUXBLHWTMCQGZNPYFVOE
So JLC becomes BHD.
If the third ROTOR is EKMFLGDQVZNTOWYHXUSPAIBRCJ, then the final substitution is:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ EKMFLGDQVZNTOWYHXUSPAIBRCJ
So BHD becomes KQF.
Final, output is send via Radio Transmitter.
