The Polish Cipher Bureau had many successes during the Polish-Soviet War (1919 – 1921), and in the 1920s theĬipher Bureau monitored radio signals resulting from German military exercises. The Reichsmarine began using Enigma in 1926, and the Reichswehr began using it in 1928. The weaknesses of their World War I codes and ciphers prompted the German military to adopt a cipher machine. It is likely that both Scherbius’ and Koch’s designs resulted from a rotor machine developed in 1915 Hugo Koch and the Swedish inventor Arvid Damm designed machines that were patented in 1919. German Arthur Scherbius invented Enigma he patented a rotor machine in 1918.Īn American, Edward Hebern, had designed a rotor cipher machine in 1917, and the Dutch inventor It is one of several cipher machines that were developed for military or for commercial use during or Machine designed to attack Enigma and one of many cryptanalytic machines to be built by Allied codebreakers.Įnigma is an electrically wired rotor machine a sequence of ciphers is generated by the motion of rotors in the Working with engineers from AVA Radio Manufacturing Company they built the bomba – the first cryptanalytic Click here for an article with photographs of the plaque monument Historical significance of the workĭuring the 1930s, a trio of Polish mathematicians Marian Rejewski (1905 – 1980), Henryk Zygalski (1907 – 1978),Īnd Jerzy Różycki (1909 – 1942) solved the German Enigma cipher machine and broke Enigma messages.

ENIGMA CODE CODE
Their work was a foundation of British code breaking efforts which, with later American assistance, helped end World War II. Working with engineers from the AVA Radio Manufacturing Company, they built the ‘bomba’ – the first cryptanalytic machine to break Enigma codes. Polish Cipher Bureau mathematicians Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski broke the German Enigma cipher machine codes. 7 Features that set this work apart from similar achievementsįirst Breaking of Enigma Code by the Team of Polish Cipher Bureau, 1932-1939.5 How the intended plaque site is protected/secured.4 Details of the physical location of the plaque.3 Street address(es) and GPS coordinates of the Milestone Plaque Sites.
