Enigma Machine Emulator

This is a simulator for general Enigma Machines, it includes rotor definitions for most versions of the machine (see list below), and is flexible enough that it can be used to simulate any other ones.

Installation

This library is available on PyPi to install via pip.

pip install enigma-emulator

Example

from enigma import Machine
from enigma.builtin_rotors import Rotors

machine = Machine(
    [Rotors["I"](), Rotors["II"](), Rotors["III"]()],
    Rotors["A"]()
)

assert(machine.encode("ENIGMA MACHINE") == "BYEJNJ RSRWHTF")

Enigma Versions

This simulator includes a comprehensive list of rotors that were used in the different enigma versions that existed over time.

These rotors are available in enigma/builtin_rotors.py, and tests are available in enigma/tests/custom_extensions_test.py for most of them.

The following variants have rotors available:

• Enigma M3 & M4
• German Railway (Rocket)
• M3 & M4 Naval
• Swiss K (custom entry wheel)
• M4 R1
• Enigma D
• Enigma KD
• Enigma T - Tirpitz (custom entry wheel)
• Norway (Norenigma)
• Railway Enigma

Machine Settings

Arbitrary Number of Rotors

This simulator supports both arbitrary rotos and setting which is the last rotor that can turn. This is because in most versions of the machine, only the first 3 rotors would turn with each keystroke.

Multiple Notches

Rotors can have from 0 to any number of notches.

Entry Wheel (i.e. Enigma T - Tirpitz)

Enigma machines could have an entry wheel that determined the wiring from the keys to the plugboard, and from the plugboard to the lamps.

Extended Alphabet

The rotors allow defining an input alphabet. This can be used to extend from the standard uppercase ASCII used in most machines, to use any unicode character.

Examples of characters that can be encoded with enigma_py:

• Alphanumeric
• Mixed-case messages
• Non-roman alphabets (Russian, Japanese... )
• Special characters

enigma_py/enigma/tests/custom_extensions_test.py features a test (test_machine_encodes_custom_alphabets) with mixed-case inputs and numbers.

It is trivial to use any unicode character - even emoji (as they are just a unicode extension)!

Just for fun I made a few custom "emoji-rotors", so that we can encode:

• Input: THIS ENIGMA MACHINE SUPPORTS EMOJIS! 😜😍🥰
• Encoded: 😆QK😗 😋🤣FUR😉 SX😚😇😜T😜 😃😂😃😄U😌A😚 😝😛😘😇W🙃! TO😍

To see the Machine and rotors used for the strings above look for the test_emoji_machine.
