National Computer Heritage Centre

Many have heard of the WWII German Enigma cipher machine, some know that it is somehow connected to early computing, but very few ever get to see working machines.This talk uniquely uses fully operational 1940's cipher machines to show how Enigma works, and the process used to create encrypted messages. We also have a brief look at the influence of Enigma on the birth of computing, and successive cryptography equipment.Seeing working Enigma machines is a touchstone experience for anyone working in IT, or interested in the history of intelligence.
