Enigma Cryptanalysis Revisited – New State-of-the-Art Attacks on the Enigma Machine in CrypTool 2

Title:

Description:

In this video, we show our newly implemented state-of-the-art attacks on the Enigma rotor cipher machine.

We recently got some criticism that our (old) Enigma analysis was not state-of-the-art. That was true, since the attacks were 10 years old. Therefore, we developed a new Enigma analyzer based on George Lasry's code.

We implemented the following new attacks:
- Turing Bombe
- Hillclimbing
- Simulated Annealing

Also, to have a faster attack, we implemented an attack based on Jim Gillogly's original paper.
