The Enigma machine was an encryption device that was
used by German forces during WW2 to send secret messages. In
this talk, we will explain exactly how the encryption process
works and go through an implementation of it in Elm. We will
demonstrate how to encrypt and decrypt a message. Then we will
go over the weaknesses that made it exploitable by Alan Turing
and the other fine folks in Bletchley Park. By the end of the
talk, you’ll be able to point out all the inaccuracies in “The
Imitation Game”.
