From Enigma to modern crypto, a disciplined journey from secret devices to open proofs and robust standards.
The Enigma machine's security relied on three rotor steps per keypress, a detail_users misread as a simple scramble.
British mathematicians secretly reused captured Enigma keys for decades, cascading confidence while never compromising code.
German operators assumed Enigma was unbreakable until a weather report error exposed a structural flaw exploited by codebreakers.
The same mechanical quirks that sped up Enigma decryption also caused repetitive keystrokes, creating exploitable ciphertext patterns.
