A historical look at decrypting the Enigma

[QUOTE="Vanadium 50, post: 6814894, member: 110252"] So for the Enigma variant they chose, they have 60 rotor choices, 26!/10! plugboard combinations (which is wrong, because they could use fewer than all 10 plugboard combinations, but we'll go wityyh it for now). In this version, apparently the ring is fixed on the rotors - he didn't mention that setting. They get some very high number of possibilities. [B]BUT[/B] the plugboard combinations are just simple substitution ciphers, and that is vulnerable to a frequency analysis. So it's actually just 60 rotor choices. You could break this by hand. Agree? [/QUOTE]
