Sending the Message
The Message to be transmitted now consisted of two parts, the informational header and the encoded message itself.
The encoded part of the message would have looked something like :
Setting Up Enigma
Setting up the Enigma machine ready to send a message was quite a complex operation which involved quite a few steps.
Enigma
A solution was already at hand to the Nazi Military and had been since 1918 when a machine called Enigma was invented by Arthur Scherbius to allow secure communications for the Financial Institutions. The banks never really got on with it but the Nazi Military pounced on Enigma as the solution to their communication problems for their fast moving war.
Bletchley Park
There could never be another war like the Great War of 1914-1919 with hundreds of thousands of men bogged down unable to move in thousands of miles of trenches, so when the Third Reich of Nazi Germany set about annexing most of continental Europe they used a new kind of warfare called the Lightning War or Blitzkrieg.
So this is how to build a really cheap computer.
It’s going to be a Hyperthreading Pentium 4 with 2GB of memory.
Is this the shonkiest maddest sloppy thing you ever read?
A section 49 is when the Police require you to hand over a crypto password or to unencode something so they can read it.
It’s happening more and more in the U.K.
So, there’s a new XBox in town.
