Understanding the way the German Encrypted communication was broken

[TimB]

Hi All

After a great visit to see Charlie at Bletchley Park computer museum with Les and Ricardo. Charlie has graciously allowed me to post and paper written by Charlie on how the German Lorenz Cipher Machine encryption was broken.

You will need your thinking cap on though as its technical.

BTW if you are near Milton Keynes on a day the Museum is open it's well worth a visit. It's a national treasure and needs to be supported.

Thanks Charlie for the paper

A truly special visit! A lot of knowledge structured on a limited base of information and resources, initially mechanical, then electromechanical and finally electronics can make its contribution. This further values the minds that made this evolution, without the help of microcontrollers, and this history can be learned and experienced at the National Museum of Computing. Yes! Experienced because there is an incredible group of people who keep these machines "alive". People like Charles Coutas, who will certainly be worth every minute of your attention.
