This toolkit is for anybody who wants to create their own Enigma Machine simulation. Whether this is a class assignment or a fun side project, this toolkit should provide the tools necessary to get there.
What you'll find here:
-
documentation that gives a brief overview of what the Enigma is, and some technical details about its operation. Following that is a detailed breakdown of how to go about writing a simulation and all of the small details and quirks that will need to be accounted for. And there are many.
-
a reference JavaScript implementation of an Enigma simulation and code to generate test data. There is an API for the simulation with hooks to observe data as it moves through the system. This is installed as a node module using npm.
-
sample data, both generated and validated. The validated messages come in two forms. The first is real messages that were sent during the war, and the other is generated messages that have been validated against other simulators.
