ENIGMAIL
User rating

I have long been fascinated with Enigma, not just the ingenuity of the machine itself, but the ingenuity of those at Bletchley Park - Alan Turing is one of my biggest inspirations - as well as the lesser known cryptanalysts at the Polish Cipher Bureau. This is how I believe the Enigma machine would look if it were invented today - as an ordinary email client!

The blue buttons act as the rotors and can be set to whatever combination you want (assuming you both have a copy of the codebook with todays code in it!).

To encrypt: Enter text in the plain text textbox and hit the green button.
To decrypt: Set the rotors back to their original position, and enter the encrypted text in the right hand textbox, then hit the orange button.
To send the encrypted email: Hit the grey button. Voila!
