Abstract
Enigma was an electro-mechanical machine that was used before and during the World War II by Germany to encrypt and decrypt secret messages. Invented by Arthur Scherbius in 1918 and meant initially as a commercial product for the enterprise community, Enigma turned out to be more successful with the German military forces [2]. Enigma had evolved throughout several years, gaining better cryptographic strength, but also being broken time and again.
