  2. Jefferson disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_disk

    A disk cipher device of the Jefferson type from the 2nd quarter of the 19th century in the National Cryptologic Museum. The Jefferson disk, also called the Bazeries cylinder or wheel cypher, [1] was a cipher system commonly attributed to Thomas Jefferson that uses a set of wheels or disks, each with letters of the alphabet arranged around their edge in an order, which is different for each ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cipher_disk

    Instead of 1 and 2 though, 1 and 8 were used since these numerals look the same upside down (as things often are on a cipher disk) as they do right side up. [2] Cipher disks would also add additional symbols for commonly used combinations of letters like "ing", "tion", and "ed".

  4. Loose wheel nut indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loose_wheel_nut_indicator

    A common type of loose wheel nut indicators are small pointed tags, usually made of fluorescent orange or yellow plastic, which are fixed to the lug nuts of the wheels of large vehicles. [2] The tag rotates with the nut, and if the nut becomes loose, the point of the tag shifts noticeably out of alignment with the other tags.

  5. Enigma rotor details - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_rotor_details

    The slow, left-hand wheel was made stationary during operation while the second wheel stepped with every key stroke. The third wheel and the UKW would step in the normal fashion with Enigma stepping for the third wheel. The stationary but rotatable left-hand wheel was meant to make up for the missing stecker connections on the commercial machine.

  6. SIGABA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGABA

    SIGABA systems were closely guarded at all times, with separate safes for the system base and the code-wheel assembly, but there was one incident where a unit was lost for a time. On February 3, 1945, a truck carrying a SIGABA system in three safes was stolen while its guards were visiting a brothel in recently liberated Colmar, France.

  7. Pinwheel (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinwheel_(cryptography)

    The German Lorenz SZ 42 cipher machine contained 12 pinwheels, with a total of 501 pins. In cryptography, a pinwheel was a device for producing a short pseudorandom sequence of bits (determined by the machine's initial settings), as a component in a cipher machine. A pinwheel consisted of a rotating wheel with a certain number of positions on ...

  8. M-94 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-94

    A wheel cipher being used to encode the phrase "ATTACK AT DAWN." One possible ciphertext is "CMWD SMXX KEIL." The principle upon which the M-94/CSP-488 is based was first invented by Thomas Jefferson in 1795 in his "wheel cypher" but did not become well known, and was independently invented by Etienne Bazeries a century later.

  9. NSA encryption systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSA_encryption_systems

    The KW-26 ROMULUS was a second generation cipher device in wide use that could be inserted into teletypewriter circuits so traffic was encrypted and decrypted automatically. It used electronic shift registers instead of rotors and became very popular (for a COMSEC device of its era), with over 14,000 units produced.
