An oracle machine or o-machine is a Turing a-machine that pauses its computation at state "o" while, to complete its calculation, it "awaits the decision" of "the oracle"—an entity unspecified by Turing "apart from saying that it cannot be a machine" (Turing (1939), The Undecidable, p. 166–168).
According to the Church–Turing thesis, Turing machines and the lambda calculus are capable of computing anything that is computable. John von Neumann acknowledged that the central concept of the modern computer was due to Turing's paper. [62] To this day, Turing machines are a central object of study in theory of computation. [63]
The basis of the method that the Heath Robinson machine implemented was Bill Tutte's "1+2 technique". [10] This involved examining the first two of the five impulses [11] of the characters of the message on the ciphertext tape and combining them with the first two impulses of part of the key as generated by the wheels of the Lorenz machine.
The Enigma machines combined multiple levels of movable rotors and plug cables to produce a particularly complex polyalphabetic substitution cipher.. During World War I, inventors in several countries realised that a purely random key sequence, containing no repetitive pattern, would, in principle, make a polyalphabetic substitution cipher unbreakable.

The Alan Turing Building at the University of Manchester, England. Alan Turing (1912–1954), a pioneer computer scientist, mathematician and philosopher, is the eponym of all of the things listed below.
Turingery [1] or Turing's method [2] (playfully dubbed Turingismus by Peter Ericsson, Peter Hilton and Donald Michie [3]) was a manual codebreaking method devised in July 1942 [4] by the mathematician and cryptanalyst Alan Turing at the British Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park during World War II.
A huge carpet python was caught “taking a cheeky nap” inside a vending machine at Australia Zoo, according to an Instagram video shared by Robert Irwin, son of famed zookeeper Steve Irwin.
Banburismus was a cryptanalytic process developed by Alan Turing at Bletchley Park in Britain during the Second World War. [1] It was used by Bletchley Park's Hut 8 to help break German Kriegsmarine (naval) messages enciphered on Enigma machines.
