Description

Enigma is a simulation of the type of message encryption devices used by the Germans from the 1920s until the end of World War II. In the game the player can opt to let the computer pick a setting or set the machine itself. Once set the user can type a sentence and encrypt his or her message.

The simulation does not decrypt, so the user or recipient must know how to decrypt using the message and the key given by the simulation.
