Computer Science Homework Help

This project uses an Enigma machine simulator. It functions like the Enigma machines used during World War II. This example has been included to help you better understand how encryption worked in the early days. It’s a great learning tool when you first start exploring the subject of cryptography. Enigma machines provided fairly good encryption strength for their day. Modern cryptographic systems are much more secure than Enigma machines.

Purpose

In this project, you use an Enigma machine simulator to better learn about encryption.

Directions

1. Read and execute the instructions for Hands-on Project 2 starting on page 164.
