![]() ![]() The current path is A-E,E-S,S-G then the reflector gives path G-L, then using reverse tables starting at wheel III, the return path is L-F, F-W, W-N. The path is rotors I-II-III, reflector, III, II, I. On the terminals from keyboard matching the letters on the core of the rotor (which contains the fixed wiring of the rotor). Then when you press the the first key the rotor will have the fixed terminal ![]() The simulator advances the rotor when the first key is pressed, i.e., the first entry. ![]() The simulator was used with rotors III, II, I and B reflector. Make up six tables for the three wheels, three going forward and three goingīackwards plus a table for the reflector. The easiest way to understand the path of the current through the rotors is to Your simulator has to first advance the rotor and then encrypt the letter. When you press A the rotor advances to B and encrypts the letter according to B. Source: Technical Details of the Enigma Machine Therefore, to examine the current flow through the rightmost rotor in A position, the rotor must be set in the Z position before depressing the key (this also counts for the other rotors if they are due to step). Remember that, when depressing a key, the rotors advance before the electrical signal runs through the rotors. This almost matches the simulator, but why is the simulator's output shifted over one? abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Then if you advance the ring to B all the outputs will be shifted up the alphabet by one. If your rotor (Enigma I Rotor I) is set up like this with the ring at A. Second, the rotors are advanced before the letter is encrypted. First, the ring setting changes the output letter, it doesn't rotate the whole exit pattern. Everything seems to be the same except that according to the online simulator, the rotor wirings on a ring setting of b or 2 should be: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz I even tried to make the program run in a loop till it finds the intended answer so I could deduce the relation between ring settings and rotor positions, but it never found it.īut using the same settings on an online enigma simulator worked. I tried decrypting the first sample message from here that way but didn't succeed. I think all I should have to do is add the ring positions to the rotor positions. I think by applying the ring setting of B or 2, the settings should become: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ![]() How do they affect the substitutions?įor example suppose the initial rotor settings are: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz I have finished doing everything except the ring settings. There is a similarly worded question here but it doesn't answer mine. The site wont allow me too add more links but google "enigma rotor details" and see the wikipedia page I learned initially about it from a book called "Code Book" and then looked at it in detail from its wikipedia page. I'd use the same implementation.EDIT: The model I'm trying to make is "Enigma 1". The plugboard is essentially a configurable reflector. The double-step algorithm can be implemented more simply and more generalized: At each step, the set of rotors that rotate is all rotors that is in the notch position, plus the rotors after each of those, plus the first rotor. Any time you have a function of the form function() ask yourself "Why isn't this two functions?" Split up the forward and backward direction through the rotors into two functions. Either make those static constants/factories or pull them up (into Enigma) Rotors and reflectors should be fully configurable instead of taking a name for predefined rotors/reflector. It is easier to do arithmetic in numbers than in letters. I'd work mostly in numbers and convert to/from letter only for input/output.
