The German Enigma M3 simulator The German Enigma is probably the best known of the WW2 cipher machines used by either side of the conflict. Invented in 1918, it was developed as both a commercial and military encipherment system before and during the war. Enigma is an electro-mechanical device that utilizes a stepping wheel system to 'scramble' a plaintext message to produce a ciphertext message via polyalphabetic substitution. A mono-alphabetic substitution cipher is a cipher where one-to-one mapping is used to substitute each plaintext symbol with a corresponding ciphertext symbol. In a polyalphabetic cipher more than one such mapping is used. The number of ciphertext alphabets is astronomically large - a fact that led the German military authorities to believe, wrongly as it turned out, in the absolute security of this cipher system. This is a Enigma simulator program for Windows 3.1/95/98/NT4/2000/XP, with at least 800x600 display and 16 bit color.
