Icona de la criptografia / Cryptologic icon

Bletchley Park és un dels llocs més fascinants de la història del segle XX. Aquí, durant la II Guerra Mundial i buscant la manera de desxifrar els codis militars alemanys, en sorgí la informàtica i els ordinadors.

 

Aquesta de la imatge és una maquina enigma del tipus emprat per la Wehrmacht i la Luftwaffe. Es pot identificar perque els rotors de la part superior porten xifres, i no lletres com al model de la marina. Sense dubte és l'element més famós de la historia del xifratge i la criptologia.

========================================================

 

Bletchley Park is one of the most amazing historical places related to the XX Century in general and to WWII in particular. Here, during the colossal effort to crack the german military codes, computers and computing science were born (or at least had their main intial development).

 

This is a Wehrmacht & Luftwaffe model Enigma. You can identify it by the numbers in the rotors. The more famous navy Enigma (M), had letters on them. The Enigma machine is without doubt the most famous icon in the history of cryptology
