Breaking Enigma


George Whalley

11/05/2020

Supervised by David W Walker; Moderated by Frank C Langbein

I propose a project that will have 3 stages,

The First Stage is the least important and would be to write some code that would take a text input and encrypt it using the enigma cipher, it would be important that this works the same as the original cipher,

The Second Stage would be to break the Cipher, the aim of the project is to find the easiest way to break the cipher with a Standard Modern Computer,

The Third and Final stage would be a reflection on what i learnt in stage 2 with emphasis on how easy it was to break the Cipher on todays age, and then also talk about any small changes that could have been made to make it more secure, I am hoping when i have completed stage 2 ill have come with ideas as to how id improve it.
