Amerikanisches Schlüsselwalze With the beginning of the 20th Century saw a rapid development in the encryption affairs. Using the then electro - mechanical knowledge and skills in a number of countries encryption machines were developed. The starting point of this development, among other things was also the ever-growing demand for a secure transmission of information in many areas of society.
 At the same time the development of mathematics and mechanics had created the conditions for the creation of practical electromechanical system.
 Thus it was natural that in all emerging industrial nations was an almost parallel development. One of the best documented systems today, which is under the name "Enigma" Enigma machine became known. The development history, its continued development and solving their "ENIGMA" who needs so encrypted information on their operation, not be discussed here. Since they are present in a number of publications, such as "Crypto Museum" in the Netherlands and the "Crypto Machine" from Canada, very good illustrations. They illuminate the, to date, given free information. Especially in the "Crypto Museum" is a very wide range of information, from the hardware to the theory and the decryption. Note the fact that these systems are electromechanical type and thus a rote conversion of the individual elements was difficult to carry out.
 This "vulnerability" of the electro-mechanical systems can now be tackled by the use of computer chips and the result of this development, the "full cryptographic space" but this well-known system are used.

Which cryptographic capacity is in this ancient method, they will know when they read the "Mathematical Cryptology Enigma" from the house of the NSA / USA.
