Comment on 80 years later, GCHQ releases new images of Nazi code-breaking computer
atx_aquarian@lemmy.world 5 months agoI wondered how this related to Alan Turing’s now-famous work cracking Enigma. TIL.
Alan Turing’s use of probability in cryptanalysis (see Banburismus) contributed to its design. It has sometimes been erroneously stated that Turing designed Colossus to aid the cryptanalysis of the Enigma. (Turing’s machine that helped decode Enigma was the electromechanical Bombe, not Colossus.)
