Who cracked the Enigma code during World War 2?
The Polish Cipher Bureau were the first to break Germany's military Enigma ciphers .
What happened to bletchly park in World War 2?
The secret German enigma code was cracked and decoded which helped the allies to win World War II
Why did they use the enigma machine in world war 2?
Arthur Scherbius invented the Enigma machine, filing his first patent in 1918. Its original intended use was for secure business communication.In the late 1920s the German military ordered two differently modified versions of Enigma machines for the Navy and Army that were intended to be more secure than the standard commercial Enigma machines.
What is the name of the German encrypting machine used in World War 2?
It was called The Enigma Machine for German encoding.
Where did the code breaking happen for the Enigma machine?
Polish cryptanalysts working in Warsaw, Poland first broke the German Army Enigma and built a simple electromechanical Bombe machine in spring of 1939. However when the Germans invaded on September 1, 1939 they had to flee Poland. Initially going to France, but when France was invaded in 1940 the Polish cryptanalysts went to England. There they became part of the team at Bletchley Park. The British team at Bletchley Park had been stymied by Enigma until the Poles arrived, bringing with them a stolen German Army Enigma machine (which answered several questions the British had). Bletchley Park eventually designed larger more advanced and powerful Bombe machines which they used throughout the war to read Enigma messages. Several times the Germans made improvements to the Enigma (especially the Navy Enigma) forcing the British to have to break the cypher again, sometimes even involving capturing another Enigma machine to see what those changes were. The most difficult change to break was the addition of a 4th rotor to the Navy Enigma, which could only be handled by the addition of a high speed vacuum tube electronic box to the side of the electromechanical Bombe machine.
What computer cracked German codes?
The Expert answer is wrong, Enigma messages were cracked using electromechanical Bombe machines.The computer Colossus cracked the German "Fish" codesthat the German High Command used.
During World War 2 the british crack a German top secret code who cracked it and what it was called?

When did Alan turing invented enigma machine?
Alan Turing didn't invent Enigma you complete inbacile. He cracked the code that the Germans were sending with the Enigma machine once. And it wasn't just his it was a whole team of people.
Why do Americans claim they cracked the enigma code?
The German Enigma Code, which they thought was uncrackable, was deciphered by British cryptologists at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire near the modern town of Milton Keynes.

Which is easier to break the cipher used by an Enigma machine or a Caesar cipher?
The Caesar cipher is far more easier to break, as it consists of a single shift operation with a total number of 25 keys. Caeser can be cracked within less than a second by brute force (trying all possible keys). For the enigma machine you have to know which rotors are being used in which order, the initial rotor position, the ring position and the plugboard configuration. With cryptoanalytic approaches Enigma can be cracked as well in decent time. Nevertheless the key space (amount of possible keys) is so large, that simple brute forcing will take a while.
What nicknames does The Enigma go by?
The Enigma goes by Slug.
What is the definition of an enigma?
Enigma is a complex riddle or puzzle.
A sentence for the word enigma?
