An Enigma, Wrapped in a … Web Page

A paper Enigma machine. No, it’s not just ROT13.

This machine is compatible with the original 3-rotor German Enigma used during World War II. For simplicity it omits the “ring settings” and plug board, but the primary workings of the machine are captured in this model. Great as an educational tool, or just for fun!

I don’t have the brain for understanding advanced encryption, but I’ve read a couple of books about Enigma/ULTRA/Bletchley Park. Neat stuff.

  1. It seems right enough. I like how they were able to take the device and turn it into paper. Very ingenious of him. Thanks for the link!
