Enigma Machine
Principles
- Ceasar cipher
- Shifts the alphabet forward/backwards
- Three rotors
- Think of a clock with a second, minute, and hour hand
- The minute rotor increments after the second rotor increments
- Same relationship with hour and minute rotors
- To decode, a person must set the rotor starting positions as the same as the start of the encryption rotors
- Rotor values range from 0-25
