About

The Public Enigma Simulator has been developed by aperopia during 2010 - 2012.
It has been based on the original blueprints of the Enigma Machine and was coded from scratch according to these standards.
We have created this simulator out of our passion for cryptography and of course the Enigma Machine.

We Hope You Enjoy the Public Enigma Simulator.

We would like to thank all the researchers, that have devoted a great amount of time into recovering and re-establishing the historical importance of the Enigma machine. Out of these, two brilliant individuals have leaded the way to many important discoveries. Frode Weierud and David Hamer have undertaken this search for quite some time providing an extensive research on the Enigma. Most definitions of the machine can be found in their written accounts and present an accredited source of historical facts. In addition to these respected individuals, there is important contribution by many more accredited researchers. They have assisted in sorting and applying the recovered information. Some of this distinguished individuals, are Tony Sale, Philip Marks and Marian Rejewski. All these researchers have contributed in great extend to solve the Enigma.
