Enigma (in construction)

A reconstruction of the Enigma Machine using ReactJs.

Summary

The Enigma machine is a cipher device developed during the WWII era and used by Nazi Germany for communication in its millitary throughout the war.

It was a very intricate device during its time. It took a lot of effort from the allies to crack its code with the help of brilliant individuals such as Alan Turing and the team at Bletchley Park.

This project aims to create a user interface which replicates the original machine and its variants in order for me, and hopefully other people to understand the device better.
