Bombe decryption machine. Designed by mathematician Alan Turing,this device was used during World War 2 to decrypt German communications enciphered with the Enigma machine. The bombe was used to work out the Enigma settings in use each day,allowing messages to be deciphered. It required a short stretch of encrypted message with a known meaning (a "crib"). It was named after the Bomba,a machine used by Polish cryptographers to break simple variants of Enigma before the war. This is a replica at Bletchley Park,England,the original site of the Allied codebreaking effort | |
