The Enigma Machine
Thesis
The cracking of the Enigma's code was one of the greatest moments to
come out of the bloody war of WW2. It took courage, strength,
and most of all, patience.
The start of the history of the Enigma Machine start in around 1917, with the invention of the first rotor-based cipher machine.
- The creator of the first rotor-based cipher machine was named Edward Hebern, from the USA
The infamous Enigma Machine however, was created by a German man named Arthur Scherbius in 1918(https://cryptomuseum.com/crypto/enigma/hist.htm)
Arthur Scherbius made the machine to perfection, allowing for billions of different ways to encode messages, making it nearly impossible to crack the Nazi codes
The Machine was used by the Nazis during World War 2 to make sure that other soldiers from different countries could not gain an advantage by knowing what they were saying(https://brilliant.org/wiki/enigma-machine/)
