    Alan Turing “Alan Turing (1912-54) was a British mathematician who made history. His breaking of the German U-boat Enigma cipher in World War II ensured Allied-American control of the Atlantic.” Alan Turing has made a great impact on the development of theoretical computer science, provided a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer. He is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer

    Redmond Carver’s “Popular Mechanics” revolves around many enigmas, the most important of which is who, out of its two main characters: an unnamed man and an unnamed women, gets the baby. Likewise, this enigma, as well as others, is specifically designed to draws the reader into the story and let him/her determine it’s ultimate meaning. Similarly, when the reader is first introduced to the man, who is busy “pushing clothes into a suitcase” and the women, who is repeatedly yelling at him that she’s

    on the history of encryption. In the first section I discuss classical and medieval encryption methods: steganography, and substitution ciphers. In the second section I will exclusively talk about encryption methods used in World War II, such as: Enigma Machine, and JN-25. In the third section I will talk about modern encryption methods: symmetric vs asymmetric key systems. Lastly I will conclude with a finishing paragraph, with my works cited. Classical and Medieval steganography. Steganography

    the unbreakable secret code behind the Nazis' communications machine, named Enigma, which if they can would give the Allies an advantage and possibly even end the war. The problem is that Enigma is recoded every day, so that even if the team can decipher a coded message transmitted by the Nazis, that code would be obsolete by the next day. There are 159,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible codes that could be input into Enigma. A largely arrogant, antisocial, solitary and literal minded man, Alan is the

    During WWII, the Germans used encryption machines that they called Enigma to decrypt any messages sent around at Army and below level. This machine provided an extremely complicated encryption that they considered to be impossible to decipher. As the war carried on, the Germans increased the intricacies of the code. However, the Germans did not foresee the lengths that the Allies would go to determined to break the code. The Allies secretly built complicated machines in their effort to break the
