Description
An account of the resource
Cipher Tools and Machines contains examples of cipher tools and machines seen through out history, particularly within the context of military history. From Ancient Greece to the Cold War, cryptology has played a significant part in the communication and intelligence efforts between opposing forces.
They, along with cryptanalysts, have even been credited with shortening the duration of wars. Without the British intelligence project ULTRA, WWII may have lasted for another two years. However, while many great cryptanalysts hail from Britain, the UK is not exclusive in their cryptographic abilities. The Enigma was invented in Germany, and its stronger rendition, Fialka- in Russia. In comparison to these cryptomachines, the US SIGABA remains unbroken. Those are only a few cipher machines flound in this collection.

TypeX
Description
An account of the resource
The TypeX was an electromechanical cipher machine used by the British during WWII. It was devloped by Wing Commander O.G.W. Lywood, with the first production batch delivered to the RAF in 1937. As a British variant of the Enigma, versions of it came out to be more compatible for use in decrypting messages encrypted by the German's Enigma.
