Nice to hear you again John I would never have thought that somebody would ever try to make money with my paper enigma ! I should have copyrighted it ;-) ...
Hi, I've been rereading _The Code Book_, specifically the section on how the Enigma machine works. So, Simon Singh says that the plug board with 6 pairs of...
