dc.description.abstract | In this thesis we look at the solution to the German code machine, the Enigma
machine. This solution was originally found by Polish cryptologists. We look at the
solution from a historical perspective, but most importantly, from a mathematical
point of view. Although there are no complete records of the Polish solution, we try
to reconstruct what was done, sometimes filling in blanks, and sometimes finding
a more mathematical way than was originally found. We also look at whether the
solution would have been possible without the help of information obtained from a
German spy. | en |
