Enigma I emulator, in original key/lamp mode

Calculus key-strength calculator screen.

Calculus key-based performance test-bed.

Import an image file from disk or the internet, individually shuffle RGB channels and use that data to generate a key-tape (one-time-tape). View the character distribution, and preview any part of the key-tape.

See a summary of the character distribution. Specify basic key information (name, PIN) as well as usage options: i.e. whether or not to destroy the key-tape as it is used to prevent accidental reuse.

About Enigma-X

A software-based emulator of the German Enigma I encryption device, plus ‘Calculus’, an Enigma inspired device of my own invention that is not constrained by the real-world physical constraints that applied to the original Enigma; and ‘Singularity’ a One-Time-Tape implementation.

Calculus can have any number of rotors, each of which can rotate forwards or backwards. Calculus does not use a reflector and instead just passes data from left-to-right or right-to-left, which mitigates one of Enigma’s weaknesses (no letter could be encrypted as itself).

Where the original Enigma could only handle a simple 26 character alphabet (A-Z) Calculus can handle a 94 character alphabet (A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and a mix of special characters).
