In plain words

This is a web-based emulator of the Enigma machine, the encryption device historically used during World War II. It allows users to interact with and understand how the Enigma worked by simulating its rotor-based encryption process. The emulator is designed for anyone interested in cryptography history or wanting to learn about this pivotal technology. It runs directly in a web browser, making it accessible without installation.

    Introducing the 3D Printed Binary Enigma (10 Enigma) – the ultimate encryption and decryption device, no batteries required! Inspired by the iconic Enigma machines of WWII, this sleek and intuitive device lets you encode and decode messages “effortlessly”. Or how else are we going to send secure messages in the future?

  • Enigma Machine and Bombe Implemented in eBPF – Turing's 113th Birthday2025 · github.com · ▲5

    I implemented the Enigma encryption machine and Bombe decryption device in eBPF to honor Alan Turing's legacy. This project uses eBPF to process network packets through virtual Enigma rotors and reflectors, just like the original WWII-era machines. Messages sent through virtual interfaces are not only encrypted but also decrypted in real-time, demonstrating how Turing's pioneering work can be reimagined with modern systems programming. The implementation includes configurable rotors, reflectors, and position settings.
