Article Title
A Cryptographic Tour of the Enigma
Abstract
Cryptography is the study of hidden information. This includes techniques to create and read secure secret messages (encryption/decryption) as well as methods to break the security of hidden messages, regardless of the intended recipient (cryptanalysis). This talk will explore basic cryptographic principles using manual cryptosystems, progress to the concepts behind - and the mechanical inner workings of - the well-known Enigma Cipher deployed in WWII, and discuss how cryptography surrounds us in the modern day.
